Lieser Niederberg Helden, Riesling, Auslese, Goldkapse, 2024
A detailed GK that oozes freshly-grated pineapple and green papaya with creamed honey and the purest, laser-like lemony finish over dark slate. The coolness of the 2024 vintage is felt in the liveliness of the wine here; it is so long on the finish but is not a wine of opulence; rather, it is a noble sweet of transparency and juice. Produced with 20-25% botrytis and bottled at 110g/l residual sugar.
critic reviews
The 2024 Riesling Lieserer Niederberg Helden Auslese Goldkapsel was made with around a quarter of botrytized fruit. For once, that slatiness is colored with the juiciest Mirabelle fruit and peach compote aromas. Zestiness frames it, lending precision to the sweetness and glorious juiciness of the peach. The 2024 has exquisite length, total balance and the purest freshness, always with the strait-laced Schloss Lieser style. It is wonderful. (Sweet)
