Tasting notes
From six-year-old vines, the 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese ** is very intense yet feminine and charming on the nose, like a naked Rubens woman in oil on canvas. The wine reveals perfect botrytis or overripeness that doesn't take anything away from the precision and finesse. It is round, gorgeously lush and voluptuous on the palate yet with crystalline, highly refined acidity and structure. This is a spectacularly intense, warm and ripe Auslese that is opulent yet lean, racy and piquant, finishing with stimulating salinity and precision. A fabulous wine, a showstopper if you so will. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.

At once very concentrated, with plenty of dried stone fruit and floral honey, yet still graceful and refined. Intense citrusy freshness at the still tightly wound finale. Decades of aging potential. Drink or hold.
