Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel, 2024
The Wehlener Sonnenuhr GK is more concentrated than the Helden, coated in ripe exotic fruits through to impressive impact – a dancing, thoroughly delicious style of GK that is so clear and easy to read – though it promises an enormous amount for the future. The acidity is lacy and fine, the mineral impression more crumbled, less rocky. Clean and pure and long. Produced with 20-25% botrytis and bottled at 110g/l residual sugar.
critic reviews
The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Goldkapsel was made with around a quarter of botrytized fruit. Slate and lemon zest are lifted and absolutely stony on the nose. The palate has an immense concentration of peach and peach skin, with purity and brightness of flavor, suppleness, juiciness and the endless length of that perfect stone fruit. This is sweet but not too sweet and gorgeously balanced, depicting a kind of surreal vision of the ripest, citrus-edged fresh peach. (Sweet)
