Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese

The sensuous curves of Art Nouveau design and joyful flourishes of rococo both give an idea of what Mosel riesling elegance means, but in a masterpiece like this it takes on a totally distinctive feeling unlike anything else on Planet Wine. The white peach fruit, white flower aromas and slatey minerality all tingle on your palate, then flicker on and on in a totally fascinating manner in the nearly endless finish. The touch of sweetness is already beautifully integrated, although the wine just began a decades-long life. Drink or hold.

There's a litheness to this elegant version, with a finessed, angular feel to the notes of green plum, star fruit and nectarine underscored by crushed slate accents and a hint of chamomile. Focused and pure, with an inner density that builds, this compact and tightly wound white is one for the cellar. Best from 2025 through 2042. 280 cases imported.

An energetic, well-built wine, with juicy peach, fleshy lychee and guava flavors set against fine mineral and racy acidity. Delivers a flash of ginger, which adds nice warmth to the zesty finish. Drink now through 2040. 160 cases imported.
