justerini & brooks tasting note

The bouquet here is first and foremost slate-led as wisps of fine smoke, spontaneous fermentation and herbs suggest an altogether brittle and crispy palate to come. In the end though, there is sufficient depth and sweetness, not to mention a deliciously spicy component which brings an array of stone fruits and earth-bound sensations all together to a very long, grippy finish. A Spätlese with high levels of ripeness, freshness and a certain austerity – this is high definition stuff!

critic reviews

95/100Stephan Reinhardt,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese is clear, precise and flinty on the finely reductive but very precise and elegant nose. Highly delicate and finessed on the palate, this is a very intense but weightless and saline WSU of the best class and style. It is also complex and very long. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
