The 2022 Kusuda Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 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.

Harvested over 10 days with extreme care and precision for each and every fruit parcel picked, by hand of course. The residual sugar sits at 308g/l.

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.
