"A 2005 Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule #35 offers voluminous, esterous aromas and palate concentration of caramelized peach, fried banana, distilled pit fruits, pungent wood smoke and nut brittle. Oily, viscous and honeyed on the palate, this manages – while being undeniably gaudy – to balance a huge load of residual sugar without becoming treacle. A hint of refreshing saltiness peaks out from beneath the seemingly overwhelming load of over-ripe fruits and sheer sweetness in the finish."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
