Name one excellent einzellagen in Mosel.

• A. Piesporter Goldtröpfchen
• B. Schloss Vollrads
• C. Dr. Loosen Erdener Treppchen
• D. Wehlener Sonnenuhr

Answer: (A)

Einzellage means a single vineyard site, and in Mosel those sites are prized for expressing a strong sense of place—often slate-rich soils, steep slopes, and wines with bright acidity and pronounced mineral character. Piesporter Goldtröpfchen is one of the most famous and consistently highly regarded einzellagen in Mosel. Wines from this vineyard embody that distinctive Mosel Riesling profile—taut, mineral-driven, and with great aging potential—making it a classic example to name when asked for an excellent einzellage in the region. The other well-known Mosel single-vineyard sites—Erdener Treppchen and Wehlener Sonnenuhr—are also excellent, but Schloss Vollrads isn’t in Mosel at all, so it doesn’t fit this category.
