Occasional wine note

While not legally significant, the Goldkapsel designation means that the grapes are a special selection, signifying a higher quality of Riesling, richer and more elegant than a regular version of the same wine at the same quality (Prädikat) level, usually Auslese as with this wine. This wine is absolutely gold - rich and elegant teeming with layers of ripe stone fruit, spice, and minerality. This is a special wine.

What experts say about this wine

100

Wine Advocate

The 2020 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese (Gold Capsule) is finely concentrated and deep on the clear and crisp, even refreshing and discreetly phenolic nose that adds a spicy and coolish, even slightly greenish nuance. Lush and round on the palate and running down the throat immediately, this is a savory, dense and very elegant Auslese, with a salty, grippy and salivating, long, concentrated and irresistible finish. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork.

Decanter

Seaspray and brine lend savoury nuances to penetrating flavours of sun-drenched white peach and honeydew. Augmented with small proportions of botrytised grapes, it's a steely, breathtakingly elegant wine marked with spice and whispers of tea tannins on the finish. Light as a feather yet powerful and pure, it's just starting to shine and will reward cellaring for decades.
