Reviewed May 2023
From 90- to 100-year-old vines and picked about four weeks after the Kabinett, the 2022 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese offers a very clear, precise and fresh, substantial and complex nose with fresh lemon and crushed slate aromas. Round and savory on the palate, this is a pure, vibrantly fresh and elegant Sonnenuhr Spätlese with gorgeous fruit and savoriness. The finish is crunchy, saline and mouth-watering. This is a classic in the making, and it should be great in about a decade or two. There is remarkable precision and salivating length here. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023. (SR)

Notes

93pts Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2022er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese was made from fruit picked at 87 Oechsle on over 90-year-old vines and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (77 g/l). It offers a ripe and beautifully complex nose made of pear, melon, whipped cream, floral elements, and fine minty herbs. The wine is subtly creamy and still nicely light-weighted on the palate and leaves a juicy feel of grapefruit, apricot, and pear infused flavors in the long finish. A touch of sweetness still needs to integrate in the aftertaste, something which will happen after a decade or so of bottle aging. There is some upside here as the wine reveals its complexity with age. 2032-2042." (06/2023)
