The 2022 Dr Loosen Erdener Prälat Goldkapsel Riesling Auslese (375ml) is sourced from the rare and highly prized Erdener Prälat vineyard, one of the Mosel’s smallest and most prestigious sites. Produced by Dr Loosen, this Goldkapsel Auslese represents a selection of exceptionally ripe grapes, resulting in a wine of remarkable concentration, depth and vineyard character.
On the palate, rich flavours of ripe peach, apricot, candied citrus and honey are layered with notes of exotic fruit and slate-driven minerality. Despite its intensity, vibrant acidity provides freshness and precision, creating a beautifully balanced wine with a silky texture and an exceptionally long finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout choice for collectors and lovers of classic sweet Mosel Riesling. Its combination of richness, freshness and complexity makes it enjoyable now, while careful cellaring will reward patience over the next 20–30 years. An excellent match for blue cheese, foie gras, fruit-based desserts or as a contemplative wine alongside a cheese course.
