Goldkapsel - gold capsuleA golden capsule or foil on the bottle. Denotes a wine considered better by the producer. Usually means a Prädikatswein that is sweeter or more intense, or indicates an auction wine made in a very small lot.
Shimmering gold color. Elegant lemon, flinty mineral aromas mingling with extra ripe exotic fruits, botrytise notes of apricot and orange marmalade. Ginger candy, honey and petrol too. It is so rich and weighty with a cleansing, long acid line. Hint of mushroom flavour. This can be kept easily for decades.
Region: Nahe
Grape: Riesling
Vineyard: Oberhauser Brücke
Soil Type: Grey slate bedrock covered by a layer of loess, loam.
Brücke (1.1ha size) Monopole site for Dönnhoff – A small parcel crosses the Nahe River directly adjacent to the village of Oberhausen that benefits greatly from the nearby river’s moderating influence. A distinctive microclimate is created, protecting the vines and promoting early flowering each year, which translates into a long growing season for the late-ripening Riesling grape.

부드럽고 묵직한 바디
꿀과 같이 달지만 과하지 않게 감싸준다.
가볍게 받쳐주는 산미
복숭아 배 꿀같은 향

香气不是很张扬,奶油味比较重也有包裹感,但是整体很流畅。焦油、汽油、矿物三位一体,果味不是很具体但是很饱满,中后段还带点冬枣的甜味。入口饱满圆润,酸度较高,沿左右口腔壁延伸。淡淡的汽油起头,随后高甜出来后伴随着曼妙的桂花和栀子花香以及花蜜香,使整个甜度比较清雅轻盈。果味有明亮的成熟桃杏、梨子酱等等,填充整体,后段有点贵腐焦糖、腌渍青梅,后口腔壁有金属滑面感,余味带有一些清晨还带着露珠的青草芬芳,但是余韵不是太长。93+/100
