Sometimes it is simply best to concentrate<br />

on one thing only – just like Gernot Hain<br />

concentrates on the top Mosel site<br />

Goldtröpfchen in Piesport. On the heavily<br />

slate-influenced soils, he succeeds in bringing<br />

forth savoury, tension-laden wines with beautiful<br />

site expression – continuing a family tradition<br />

that reaches back into the 17th century<br />

with great ability and passion. He demonstrates<br />

this talent just as well for the residually<br />

sweet wines – they impressed us in particular<br />

this year. The showpiece amongst them is the<br />

full-bodied and balanced Auslese which has a<br />

long term ageing potential.<br />
