The 2017 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule is super clear, precise and concentrated on the nose, with tobacco and stone fruit aromas. The palate is lush, piquant, salty and very elegant, with fascinating precision and mineral grip. This gorgeous Auslese includes 20% to 30% raisins rather than botrytis grapes. Tasted in March 2019.
