Willi Schaefer Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Versteigerung 2021 - 0,375l

Willi Schaefer’s Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Versteigerung 2021 is a rare, beautifully crafted Mosel Riesling from one of Germany’s most respected estates. Sourced from the legendary Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard and released in a limited auction-style bottling, it combines precision, richness, and the unmistakable elegance that has made this site famous for generations.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright golden hue that hints at its concentration and sweetness. The nose is intensely aromatic, with layers of ripe peach, apricot, candied citrus, and a fine slate-driven freshness that keeps everything lifted and precise. On the palate, this Auslese is full-bodied and complex, with a seamless balance between luscious fruit sweetness and Mosel acidity. The finish is long, polished, and mineral, giving it the structure to develop gracefully over time; with careful cellaring, it should age beautifully for many years, gaining added depth and nuance.

Production
The wine comes from the steep, storied slopes of Wehlener Sonnenuhr, where the Mosel’s cool climate and blue slate soils help produce Riesling with remarkable finesse, perfume, and vibrancy. The grapes were hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only perfectly ripe fruit made it into this limited Goldkapsel Versteigerung release, with vinification focused on preserving purity, balance, and the vineyard’s distinct character.

Food & Serving
Serve this Riesling lightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to bring out its aromatic complexity and fine acidity. It pairs wonderfully with fruit-based desserts, tarte tatin, blue cheese, or richer aged cheeses, and it can also be enjoyed on its own as an elegant aperitif. Decanting is generally not necessary, though a little time in the glass will help it open beautifully.

Producer
Willi Schaefer is a benchmark Mosel producer known for precise, terroir-driven Rieslings that consistently rank among the region’s finest. Based in Graach, the estate has earned an outstanding reputation for its restrained style, exceptional vineyard work, and wines that capture both delicacy and depth.
