The 2023 Goldkapsel combines ripe apricot, candied citrus, mango, passion fruit and honey with distinctive red-slate minerality and smoky spice. The palate is exceptionally dense and luscious, yet lifted by vibrant acidity that keeps the sweetness beautifully balanced. The finish is extraordinarily long, precise and harmonious, with remarkable ageing potential.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 98\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Aug 29, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFantastic exotic fruit character is married to insane acidity on the very concentrated and compact palate.

The wine is ample yet savory, revealing smoother fruit acidity yet crystalline mineral vitality and tension. This is a highly stimulating yet also complex and seriously structured Riesling from a gorgeous terroir. 9% stated alcohol. Natural cork.

With the exception of the Kinheimer Rosenberg, the other GGs and Prädikat wines do not come close to their depth. Of the GG Reserve wines matured longer on the lees and in the bottle, the 2019 Erdener Prälat GG Alte Reben is the best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-goWbiv loNZbm\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWE 93\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Jan 9, 2025\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-goWbiv loNZbm\"\u003eA luxurious and expressive wine, offering vibrant dried mango and delicate hints of white raspberry. The rich fruit is beautifully balanced by a crisp lemon acidity, adding a refreshing zest that enhances the wine's elegance. Its well-defined structure carries through a long, harmonious finish, making this an outstanding example of the Auslese style. The layers of flavor and complexity reveal the exceptional quality of the Erdener Pralat vineyard, and the Gold Capsule designation signals a wine of exceptional pedigree. — Aleks Zecevic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"taster\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-goWbiv loNZbm\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.0%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Cork\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietals:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Riesling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Erdener Prälat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red slate and volcanic rock conglomerate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e South-facing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spontaneous fermentation with carefully selected grapes, including botrytised fruit, to create concentrated residual sweetness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResidual Sugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e 77 g\/L\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Erden, Mosel, Germany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e VDP.GROSSE LAGE – Riesling Auslese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–11°C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, apple tart, tropical fruit desserts and spicy Asian cuisine\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41380151099456,"sku":"WHDE20230009","price":145.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/dr-loosen-erdener-pralat-riesling-auslese-gold-new-750ml.jpg?v=1790151055","url":"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/products\/dr-loosen-erdener-pralat-riesling-auslese-goldkapsel-2023-750ml","provider":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
