Wine Critic Reviews
The 2022 Bernkasteler Lay Auslese (Gold Capsule) is clear, deep, fresh and coolish on the savory and saline nose that shows a flinty slate expression and intertwines with attractive yellow stone fruit (mango, mirabelle) aromas. Round and mouth-filling on the palate, this is a very elegant, lush and intense, stimulating saline and savory Auslese with delicate grip and fine tension. It's generous yet crunchy in its fine tannins and stony/saline grip. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 19 23 in January 2025.

The 2022 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese Goldkapsel was made with a small portion of botrytis, around 30%. Candied Mirabelle and white peach are still tempered by aromatic citrus, resulting in a picture of elegance, full of fruit but also of serene, smooth, tempered ripeness that just shimmers with Mirabelle, peach, Meyer lemon and supple, tempered, zesty, balanced sweetness. Botrytis is only evident in concentration and a touch of honey on the finish. (Sweet)
