Parker about Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule Magnum Auction Wine 2023
The 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (Gold Capsule / Auction) opens with a very intense but elegant and delicate as well as flinty bouquet with smoked fruit aromas. Very refined and highly elegant on the palate, this is a super finessed and filigreed, weightless, crystalline and irresistible Auslese with a long, intense yet always refined and stimulating saline finish. A fabulous selection indeed! 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 18 24 in January 2025.

Suckling over Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule Magnum Auction Wine 2023
This Mosel masterpiece has extraordinary delicacy, but the tropical fruit concentration is off the scale and is almost too much for mere mortals. So dynamic and energetic for a wine with this format. As it aerates, notes of caramelized mandarin oranges and a wealth of candied fruit (most of all pineapple) emerge. Then the purity of the finish pulls you back for more of this essence from the legendary Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard site. Limited production.

Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule Magnum Auction Wine 2023

The 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Auction Wine from Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the most radiant expressions of this legendary Mosel vineyard and a prime example of the finest sweet Rieslings with exceptional depth and longevity. The Wehlener Sonnenuhr , with its pure blue Devon slate, lends the wine a unique elegance, precision, and incomparable minerality. The 2023 Auction Auslese Goldkapsel captivates with a complex interplay of aromas of ripe yellow peach, candied pineapple, honeydew melon, and orange blossom, underscored by delicate botrytis spice and salty slate minerality. The palate reveals a perfect balance between silky sweetness, electrifying acidity, and an almost weightless lightness. The immense tension, dancing precision, and impressively long, finely mineralized finish make this wine a monumental representative of its style. An auction wine of great radiance and impressive aging potential that will continue to gain complexity over the decades.
