Critic tasting note: (2022 vintage) "This wine is masterfully constructed and truly incredible, showing aromas of citrus confit, red caramel apples, quince paste, almond meal and poached apricots with baking spices. The full-bodied palate has a viscous mouthfeel cut with a racy acidity, carrying flavors of burnt oranges and creme brulee. So unique and balanced, even with 308 g/L of residual sugar. Excellent. Drink or hold." - James Suckling
The 2022 Kusuda Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) Gold Capsule is an exceptionally rare and exquisite sweet wine from Martinborough, New Zealand, crafted by the highly acclaimed Kai Kusuda. Produced only under perfect conditions when noble rot concentrates the grapes’ sugars and flavours, this wine represents the pinnacle of Riesling’s potential.
The bouquet is intensely aromatic, with layers of apricot, candied citrus peel, honey, and tropical fruit, supported by delicate floral notes and hints of spice. The palate is opulent and unctuous, yet perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity, offering extraordinary depth and precision. The finish is remarkably long and harmonious, combining richness with purity and finesse.
Serving & Cellaring:
Perfect with blue cheese, foie gras, or fruit-based desserts. While already magnificent, it has the structure to evolve gracefully for decades.
