Description

Another of the incredible GOLDKAPs here from this iconic Mosel producer.

Without relying on botrytis, this noble-sweet wine opens with a subtle nose that evolves beautifully to reveal layers of mango, guava, passion fruit, smoke, almond cream, yellow flowers, orange blossom, acacia, and cassis.

Joh. Jos. Prüm, a Mosel legend, took great care in crafting this limited-edition Goldkapsel, with rigorous selections during the late October harvest ensuring only the best grapes made it into the bottle. The result is a refined, elegant wine with a light, layered palate that gains presence and intensity as it opens up.

On the palate, this Auslese shows sublime, silky texture, vibrant acidity, and wet stone minerality. The refreshing finish lingers with a delightful passion fruit note. This wine promises to evolve gracefully over decades, becoming more harmonious and complex.

Versatile and impressive, it pairs well with sophisticated desserts or robust savoury dishes like roasted pork knuckle.

“Rippling with exotic flower and fruit aromas, this remarkably concentrated Mosel Auslese also has a staggering brilliance thanks to the very racy acidity and wet stone minerality. What a silky texture the breathtakingly refreshing finish has! Wonderful passion fruit flavour here. Drink or hold.”

96 points - “The 2022er Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese GK was made from shriveled rather than botrytized fruit and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a beautifully restrained and almost non-saying nose at first, yet quickly shows superbly complex and captivating notes of fine exotic elements (mango, guava, passion fruit), smoke, whipped almond cream, yellow flowers, orange blossom, acacia, and cassis. The wine proves superbly refined and elegant on the layered and comparatively light-weighted palate. It gains presence and intensity as it unfolds and leaves a magnificent elegant and gorgeously creamy touch in the hugely long finish. What a splendid wine!” - Jean Fisch and David Rayer (Mosel Fine Wines)
