Hofberg Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Grosse Lage - VDP. Weingut A. J. Adam

A complex, sensually elegant Mosel Auslese of beguiling finesse, clarity, and purity. This Goldkapsel selection from the “Dhroner Hofberg” Grosse Lage showcases the noble sweet side of this historic Middle Mosel terroir—concentrated, yet carried by cool tension and playful lightness.

The nose unfolds with ripe passion fruit, mango, and yellow plum, firm pineapple, lime, and grapefruit, underscored by a subtle, fine hint of honeyed botrytis and cool, spicy slate minerality.

On the palate, the wine is delicate, dense, and rich in extract; slender in structure, yet possessing great tension. The vibrant, orange-toned acidity and spicy, salty slate minerality carry the noble sweet core elegantly through the mouth. The finish is very long, animating, and of sensual depth.

For the Goldkapsel selection, overripe and partially shriveled berries with noble botrytis are hand-selected. The vines, over 70 years old, grow on traditional individual stakes in grey Devonian slate with characteristic iron oxide veins in the rock.

Following gentle pressing, the grapes were fermented spontaneously and subsequently aged undisturbed on the fine lees in traditional Fuder barrels.

A grand, noble sweet Mosel Auslese of historic stature and extraordinary aging potential; a wine that will mature for decades, unfolding its complexity more intensely with every passing year.
