Riesling Kabinett Wehlener Sonnenuhr
2023
Situated in the heart of the Mosel's finest vineyards, the Max Ferdinand Richter estate has been in the family for over 300 years. The family owns 48 acres of priceless vines on the magnificent stretch of the river between Erden and Brauenberg including all the best sites: Graacher Himmelreich, Wehlener Sonnenuhr and Brauenberger Juffer and Richter's monopole Veldenzer Eilsenberg.

The 2023er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett was made from fruit harvested at 79° Oechsle on 80-90-year-old un-grafted vines and was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (40 g/l). This offers a very delicate nose made of vineyard peach, mirabelle, white flowers, whipped cream, and smoke. It is nicely juicy and well balanced on the palate and leaves a reduced feel of fruits and herbs in the long and still subtly sweet tasting finish.
