Tasting Notes

The 2019 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese is very delicate and intense on the ripe and aromatic, well-concentrated and flinty bouquet with delicate slate and herbal aromas. Enormously complex and endless salty on the palate, this is a persistent, structured and sustainable ZSU with great aging potential. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.

Theoretically, wine can’t smell mineral, but this Spätlese certainly has an intense wet-stone character. Then, mandarin-orange, jasmine and fresh-ginger notes develop. Still tightly wound,and also very focused and clean through the long, crystalline finish. Discreet hint of sweetness. Drinkable now, but better from 2023.

The 2019er Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese offers a beautifully aromatic and complex nose of orange blossom, pear, herbs, vineyard peach, lily flowers, and pink grapefruit. A great zesty and ripe acidity lifts up all the flavors on the palate. The finish is on the fully fruity side with some delicate almond cream underlying the Spätlese creaminess of the wine. A touch of CO2 in the aftertaste adds some pep at this stage. This great example of a “drinking Spätlese” now just needs a decade of patience in order to reveal all its nuances. 2029-2049
