Tasting Notes

The most beautiful tropical flowers (so much hibiscus!) pour from the glass of this graceful giant. Stunning concentration and also some baby fat, but also a great structure and it needs all of those to age for many decades, as it surely will. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese is deep and intense on the nicely reductive yet concentrated and spicy-mineral nose that reveals a flinty/crunchy slate aroma with generous but elegant and refined fruit and subtle grapefruit aromas. On the palate, this Auslese displays a fine raisin aroma of perfectly ripe and overripe Riesling grapes, whereas the textured is highly finessed and beautifully balanced. This is impossible to spit, as the crystalline acidity is so delicate and interwoven with the fruit and texture of this persistently salty beauty. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. Drink 2025-2060.

The 2019er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese is a sweet wine with a beautifully restrained and smoky nose of herbs, orange peel, spices, candied grapefruit, greengage, and thyme. The wine proves superbly juicy on the rich, elegantly smooth, and creamy palate and leaves a deep and intense feel in the smoky, energetic, and hugely persistent finish. This impressive wine manages to show weight but without any undue power or forcefulness. It will however require quite some patience in order to integrate its primary tail of sweetness. This breathtaking Auslese could easily exceed our already high expectations as it reveals its finesse and complexity with aging. 2034-2069
