Parker about Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 2018
With a certain percentage of botrytis, the 2018 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese (Gold Capsule) is very fine and elegant on the flinty and herbal, finessed and complex nose. Round and piquant on the palate, this is a concentrated, firmly structured, even slightly tannic and thus still astringent selection to be served with food—in 15-20 years. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
