The 2017 Riesling Zeltinger Himmelreich Auslese ** (Golden Capsule) offers an enormously aromatic nose with tropical fruit aromas, such as ripe mangoes, passion fruit and papayas, intermixed with lush, yellow-fleshed peaches, plums and fine slate notes. Lean and piquant on the first palate attack, this is a coolish, precise and highly aromatic but pure and refreshing Auslese with laser-like acidity cutting through the fruity flesh. Again, this 2017 reveals some Eiswein features in terms of piquancy and precision and ends with a highly precise and stimulatingly piquant finish. A fabulous Auslese full of tension. Tasted in April 2019. - SR
