Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Riesling, Kabinett, 2023
The Wehlener Sonnenuhr is a little more closed, requiring one to tease those smooth coiled stone fruits, blossom and balm-like flavours. Complex with fine earth and slate, it all leads in to a juicy and vibrant finish. Very typical of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr and classic in feel.
critic reviews
The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett opens with some reduction, but the yeastiness blends with lemon. The palate is sleek and contoured, vividly fine, with cool, salty slate. Its blue, cool aspect shines with yellow lemon, creating a gorgeous complementary accord that accentuates absolute elegance.
The 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett is deep, pure, fresh and slatey on the precise, coolish and also floral nose. Mouth-filling, rich and dense on the palate, this is a round and juicy, very mineral, stimulating, savory and saline wine with fine, stimulating grip and an aromatic, well-structured and relatively dry finish. This is excellent and stylish in its terroir expression. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in January 2025.
