Tasting Note

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. - Anne Krebiehl, Vinous 97/100
