Where the intensity of Prüm’s 2003 wines drew on the ripeness of the vintage, 2006 was one of the great botrytis years, comparable to the beguiling, racy complexity of 1976. Katharina feels that while 2006 is too young to release (as a museum wine) from 750ml bottles, she explains that the half bottles have matured a little faster. So, here we have a glorious and stunningly perfumed aged Mosel Riesling, perfect for restaurants to serve alongside a lighter, fruit-based desserts or as a dessert in itself.

Reviews

“Tense and cool and introvert and extremely classic. Really racy and just what it’s all about.”
19 points, Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com
"The 2006 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule offers gardenia, orange blossom, apple jelly, and honey in the nose. Malt and peach join the floral and apple essences on the palate, which alternates silken and buttery textural expressions. Acidity is not at all obvious here, but its presence is felt in balanced sweetness and in finishing penetration and energy. Malt, butter cream and flowers linger in the empty glass. If this were sold solely as perfume it would already justify its price."
94-95 points, David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate
