Riesling Spätlese Wehlener Sonnenuhr 2021

- 94 points -

Picked at 87° Oechsle but from 90-year-old, ungrafted vines and with lots of sugar-free dry extract, the 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese opens with intense and generous, ripe and even concentrated fruit with very fine notes of crushed slate and fresh lemon juice. Round and refined on the palate, this is a delicious, very delicate and vivacious Spätlese with typical WSU finesse and fine acidity that is interwoven with the characteristic and so stimulating salinity on the finish. This is a lush and almost erotic Spätlese that needs a decade to become really seductive. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
