Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel, 2023
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
The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Goldkapsel opens with a fleeting touch of mint oil before revealing a world of peachy suppleness and concentration, countered by lemon and tender, light-footed elegance. It unfolds with exquisite aromatic finesse. Yes, this is a Goldkapsel, but its lightness and purity are exquisite. So fine and bright with a lastingly zesty finish.
