Parker about Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel (0,375l) 2006
The 2006 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule offers gardenia, orange blossom, apple jelly, and honey in the nose. Malt and peach join the floral and apple essences on the palate, which alternates silken and buttery textural expressions. Acidity is not at all obvious here, but its presence is felt in balanced sweetness and in finishing penetration and energy. Malt, butter cream and flowers linger in the empty glass. If this were sold solely as perfume it would already justify its price. But it would really be a shame to open a bottle for at least 15 years, and it could be held for at least 40. (There were two bottlings of this wine - one this year - of which I tasted the first, AP #17 07.)

Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel (0,375l) 2006
The Joh. Jos. Prüm winery is a renowned winery in the Mosel region of Germany and is one of the most well-known producers of Riesling wines worldwide. The winery has a long tradition, having been founded in 1911. Since then, it has earned an excellent reputation for its high-quality, characterful wines.
One of the winery's special vineyards is the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. This site is one of the top locations on the Moselle and is considered one of the best Riesling sites in Germany. The steep south-facing slopes of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard offer optimal sunlight, and the mineral-rich slate soils lend the wines a unique expressiveness.
In the glass, the Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 2006 presents itself with a brilliant golden yellow color. On the nose, it unfolds a complex bouquet of ripe peaches, citrus fruits, and exotic fruits like mango and pineapple. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a pleasant sweetness, perfectly balanced by a lively acidity structure. The wine possesses remarkable depth and length on the finish.
The Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 2006 is an excellent dessert wine and also pairs well with strong cheeses. Its excellent cellaring ability allows it to continue aging for many years, further developing its aromas and complexity.
