Picked at 235° Oechsle around mid-October, like the Auslese Gold Capsule, the dark golden-yellow 2015 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Gold Capsule is made from pure and dried raisins. This Riesling is super clear and ripe on the nose, with intense, yet precise peach and some sweet spicy aromas. Viscous and very concentrated on the palate, this is a very intense, piquant and sweet, but also highly finessed and precise TBA. There is vital acidity and a bitter grapefruit flavor in the finish.
