Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Riesling Auslese, Goldkapsel, 2005
justerini & brooks tasting note
Again, we see in Wehlener an intellectual, aristocratic style of noble sweet that stains with a firmer, saltier, more mineral impression allied to subtly complex, interwoven fruit. Tense and less fruit driven in style, this GK is very pure with a high level of slatey acidity, super long and superior. One of the very best and most memorable sweet wines we tasted this year.
critic reviews
96/100Joel Payne,Vinous
(auction wine) Golden yellow. Christmas fruitcake with nectarine, white raisin and pure botrytis on the nose. High-toned, creamy and rich, with flavors of apricot nectar, fine slate and brown spices, with an elegant floral element. A sublime touch of botrytis adds complexity to the long, mineral finish.This is one of the finest ausleses of the vintage.
