Reviewed September 2024The unbelievable lightness of being. So elegant and filigreed on the barely medium-bodied palate, with an almost steely acidity that gives this a wonderful brilliance at the very long finish. Less upfront succulence than normal for the Mosel Spatlese category, but that makes it feel lighter and even more animating. Excellent aging potential. Drink or hold.

Vinous
The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese, made with about 10% slightly more advanced botrytized fruit, opens with a fruity scent of apricot and peach combined with gorgeous creaminess. The palate offers a dollop of exquisite sweetness and superb fruit, absolutely fine, precise and elegant.(AK)
Notes
94pts Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2023er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese was made from 15% botrytized fruit picked at 89° Oechsle on over 90-year-old vines and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (80 g/l). It offers a very pure nose made of grapefruit, coconut, mint, floral elements, smoke, and whipped cream. The wine is beautifully racy and subtly creamy on the palate, where the fresh fruits mingle with the mineral elements. A touch of creaminess adds an “Auslese touch” to the long finish. This subtly exotic and creamy expression of Spätlese is hugely impressive. 2033-2048." (09/2024)
