The vineyards are situated amid the serpentine bends of the river in the heart of the Middle Mosel. This steep, rocky site Goldtröpfchen, one of the best-known vineyards of the Mosel, overlooks the romantic wine village of Piesport. Due to a deep bend in the river, the site is shaped like an amphitheater, open to the south, whereby the vines have a southeastern, southern or southwestern exposure. The hills of shallow, weathered gray slate slope at an angle of 60%. These natural conditions, paired with labor-intensive manual work, yield wines with a pronounced mineral tone, taut fruitiness and a light-hearted delicacy. The Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt estate owns 4.5 ha (11 acres) in this impressive site. A modern translation of Goldtröpfchen reads: “droplets of gold.” Etymologically, though, it is said to be a derivation of the Irish word “col,” meaning hill or mountain. Others believe it is related to the little golden reflections that occur when sunlight strikes flecks of mica in the stony soil. Piesport’s Latin name “Pigontii portus” literally means “Pigontius’ port” (harbor).
