The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (Auction) opens with a pure and coolish, refined and flinty but most of all intense bouquet that is rather discreet than up front and populated with ethereal notes such as crunchy slate, vegetal and lemon as well as just-ripe stone fruit aromas (white peaches). Round, precise and lush on the palate, with lovely raisin flavors and this mouth-watering salinity, this 2021 WSU Auslese is a Prüm picture-book Auslese of great finesse and delicacy. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023.
AP: 20 22. The 2021er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Auction proves still quite reductive at first yet is quick to show an aromatic and rich nose of yellow peach, pear, plum, spices, smoke, mint, and a lot of almond cream. The wine proves superbly playful and has a touch of richness on the palate where honeyed peach and pineapple give a sweet side at the moment. The finish is lighter and mouth-watering. This is a superb Auslese in the making. 2036-2071
