Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Riesling, Spätlese, 2022
More smoke and lees and a wild, unadorned truth to the virile stone fruit in this highly finessed Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese. There is richness and intensity here delivered with striking elegance and detail. On this showing there is no reason why it shouldn’t make for old bones. So long and smooth and noble.
critic reviews
The 2022 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese is deep, intense and complex on the saline and mineral nose that shows ripe, bright as well as yellow stone fruit aromas intertwined with floral and seed notes. Dense and juicy on the savory and crystalline palate, this is a clear, pure and tensioned Spatlese with a long, salivating saline, almost dry and lemon-fresh finish. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 02 23 in January 2025.
