Joh Jos Prum, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel other_regions_italy Darker and bluer than mostFor a bortrytis Auslese this has very pronounced minerality that pushes the honeyed and tropical fruit aspects of the wine into the background. A touch of toastiness creates wonderful flavor complexity that the vibrant acidity illuminates. Needs some time, but the wet stone and lime character in the finish already makes it plain how great this wine is. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.
