Graacher Himmelreich, Riesling, Auslese, Goldkap, 2020
Concentrated and delicious with more botrytis evident on account of its tropical fruits and richness, both of which are offset by an extra level of extract and slate-grip crunch in the wine as it opens. Persistent and powerful with impressive acidity and cleansing freshness. Superb.
critic reviews
The 2020 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese (Gold Capsule) is finely concentrated and deep on the clear and crisp, even refreshing and discreetly phenolic nose that adds a spicy and coolish, even slightly greenish nuance. Lush and round on the palate and running down the throat immediately, this is a savory, dense and very elegant Auslese, with a salty, grippy and salivating, long, concentrated and irresistible finish. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 22 21 in July 2022.
