The 2021er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese 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 superbly aromatic and complex nose of almond cream, vineyard peach, apricot, smoke, anise, and William’s pear. The wine coats the palate with ample juicy and ripe yellow fruits, and leaves a playful and layered feel in the superbly long and creamy finish. This has superb Spätlese aromatics and finesse.
