Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm is synonymous with benchmark Mosel Riesling, and the 2016 Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel is a jewel from the family’s cellar—embodying the union of precision craftsmanship and the steep Devonian blue-slate terroir of the Bernkasteler Lay.

On the nose, the wine reveals an enchanting bouquet of ripe citrus and exotic orchard fruit: white peach, sweet mandarin, and sun-ripened apricot meld with orange blossom, honeycomb, and cool slate minerality.

On the palate, the 2016 Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel dazzles with its filigree structure and weightless poise. Concentrated, botrytis-kissed sweetness is countered by electric Mosel acidity, imparting remarkable freshness and tension. Delicate saline minerality and subtle spice lend further depth and dimension.

The finish is endlessly persistent, leaving a luminous interplay of Luscious fruit and crystalline acidity—a quintessential Goldkapsel Auslese from Joh. Jos. Prüm built to age for decades.
