The 2019 Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Auslese is intense and highly refined on the concentrated, earthy/slatey and pretty complex nose with its notes of crushed stones, lemon oil and chocolate pepper. Sweet but frisky and buoyant on the palate, this is a dense yet highly refined, beautifully balanced, weightless yet intense Auslese bottled with 8.5% alcohol. A fabulous, very stimulating and playful Riesling! Tasted from AP 03/20 in June 2020.
