| Description: | Wine Advocate - 94 Points: Picked at 87 Oechsle but from 90-year-old, ungrafted vines and with lots of sugar-free dry extract, the 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese opens with intense and generous, ripe and even concentrated fruit with very fine notes of crushed slate and fresh lemon juice. Round and refined on the palate, this is a delicious, very delicate and vivacious Spatlese with typical Wsu finesse and fine acidity that is interwoven with the characteristic and so stimulating salinity on the finish. This is a lush and almost erotic Spatlese that needs a decade to become really seductive. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. Stephan Reinhardt. Mosel Fine Wines - 95 Points: The 2021er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese was made from fruit picked at 87 Oechsle on over 90-year-old vines and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (77 g/l). It offers a superbly aromatic and complex nose of almond cream, vineyard peach, apricot, smoke, anise, and Williams pear. The wine coats the palate with ample juicy and ripe yellow fruits, and leaves a playful and layered feel in the superbly long and creamy finish. This has superb Spatlese aromatics and finesse. 2031-2051 |
