The 2016 Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese is not the positive selection of the Auslese LGK but an own selection that was picked grain per grain through the harvest and is based on almost entirely dry raisins. Terribly fresh and piquant, with grapefruit and green tea aromas on the nose, this is an opulent and intense, very fine and spicy but sweet and refined BA with a lush, stimulatingly piquant finish. There are lemon and lime flavors in the long, powerful aftertaste. This is a fascinatingly delicate BA and one of the very best I have tasted so far from this vintage. Tasted March 2018.
