The other half of Max Kilburg's Grand Cru dry Riesling pair, and an outright Mosel landmark. Piesporter Goldtropfchen wraps an amphitheater around the village of Piesport on a long outer bend of the river, all southeast-to-southwest exposures on deep, dark Devon slate veined with quartz. Where Kilburg's Ohligsberg is dark and architectural, Goldtropfchen is brighter and more fragrant: stone fruit, spice, herbs, a lithe and piercing line. Max, a 20th-generation grower trained by Julian Haart, makes this in dry Grand Cru style from old vines on the steepest gradients. The 2024 vintage was tiny but high-quality. A serious, electric Mosel white with both the sun and the slate of one of Germany's most storied sites.

More about Max Kilburg

Max Kilburg, a 20th-generation winemaker on the Mosel, is one of the brightest young stars of German Riesling. He farms his family's Geierslay estate and his own micro-project—just 1.2 hectares of old-vine Grand Cru parcels. His Rieslings taste like pure slate and mineral electricity. Authentic, unshowy, unforgettable.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Beautiful with steamed shellfish, sea bass crudo, or salmon with herbs. The spice and lift also work with Vietnamese summer rolls, lemongrass chicken, pork schnitzel, and a wedge of mountain cheese.

Tasting Profile

Bright stone fruit (yellow peach, apricot), citrus oils, a brush of fresh herbs, and a piercing slate core. Dry, lithe, and electric on the palate, with deep mineral length and a long, fragrant, mineral-spiced finish.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
