"The Riesling Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese ** 2017 (golden capsule) has a bright, clear color and bouquet, blending citrus with crushed slate aromas. Lush and very delicate on the palate, this is a filigree Auslese, very elegant, spicy and fine with a concentration of delicate botrytis and a long, salty finish. Great balance and finesse here." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Stephan Reinhardt)
