Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Riesling, Kabinett, 2024
The Wehlener Sonnenuhr is spicier and more reductive than the Himmelreich, with sharper, fresh pineapple, stone fruits and lemons. Complex and juicy and a lot more persistent, all on the extract and slatey material. This year, at least at this early stage, there is distance between the two Kabinetts. The Graacher will please young, the Wehlener Sonnenuhr needs time.
critic reviews
The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is a total tease. Aromatic citrus shimmers on the nose, uniting grapefruit, tangerine and bergamot scents. Citrus foliage adds an extra frisson of freshness. The palate homes in on that line between tartness and the ripe aroma that you find only in the most exquisite citrus fruits. The 2024 has an allure and fusion of impressions that is inextricable and therefore beguiling. It is simply wonderful, fresh, light and so elegant. (Medium)
