2019 Riesling, Auslese, Wiltinger Braune Kupp, Egon Müller, Mosel, Germany

The 2019 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Auslese is very clear, refined and flinty on the elegant and subtle nose with its rose petal and wood aromas, similar yet even finer than in the Spätlese to be auctioned. On the palate, this is a piquant, fresh and grippy Auslese with racy acidity that cuts the sweetness and pairs with the mineral backbone of this refined and frisky Auslese. The salinity and piquancy are already exciting yet still nervous and youthful—this should be an extremely buoyant Auslese in 20 years. Bottled with 7.5% alcohol.
