Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese, Goldkapsel, Schloss Lieser (Thomas Haag)

Note:

Harboring a mere 7% alcohol, Schloss Lieser’s 2011 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule displays white peach nectar mingled with pink grapefruit, nut pastes, and honey on a near-weightless palate that scintillatingly and memorably juxtaposes creaminess and juicy brightness. There is a seductive alliance of soothing and stimulation to this elixir’s pristinely lingering finish, and I expect that yet more attractions will be unveiled over the next couple of decades.
