Production Details The exact wine was selected entirely from highly selected, noble-rot-affected, shrivelled berries at the end of October. The producer's estate-level 2024 report says the main harvest resumed on 21 October after Botrytis developed into noble rot and that Auslese and Goldkapsel Auslese were produced in useful quantities.
Tasting Notes Gerlinde Klein: deep, layered and seductive nose; explosive intensity and concentration on the palate; exceptionally persistent finish.
