Description
Dr Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese, Mosel, Germany, 2021
Grape: 100% Riesling, hand harvested from 60 year old vines, effectively unoaked.
This sweet white wine has a beautiful mix of honeycomb, pineapple and hints of complex tropical fruit.
The famous “sundial” vineyard produces the quintessential Mosel Riesling: delicate and refined, with racy minerality and endless charm. Spätlese is German for “late picked.” It has more richness and body than Kabinett because the grapes are allowed to ripen for an extra week or more. The extra hang time on the vine allows for greater development of flavour and aroma.
"There is a beautiful harmony in this white, between the well-defined flavors of apricot, cantaloupe, baked pear and allspice, and its prominent acidity that lends it a vivid structure. The texture is sleek and the finish is long, luscious and filled with marzipan paste. It is so delicious now, but with 5-10 years, this will be a real beauty."
93/100 points, Aleks Zecevic, WINE ENTHUSIAST, September 2023
