Only 3 in stock
A time capsule from the golden slopes of the Mosel, Dr. Pauly’s 1985 Auslese is a shining example of the region’s ageing potential. Grown on steep, slate-rich vineyards near Bernkastel, these Riesling vines dig deep into mineral soils, soaking up the unique terroir and reflecting it in every drop. The Mosel’s cool climate and river-moderated temperatures make it ideal for slow ripening and vivid acidity—even in a ripe vintage like 1985.
Auslese means “select harvest”, where only the ripest bunches, often with a touch of noble rot (botrytis), are picked by hand. After 40 years in bottle, this wine is still alive with layers of dried apricot, honeycomb, petrol, candied citrus and wet stone. The acidity is razor-sharp, balancing the residual sugar and giving it astonishing freshness.
Pair with blue cheese, duck liver pâté, or just savour solo.
