Riesling Spätlese Wehlener Sonnenuhr 2022

- 95 points -

From 90- to 100-year-old vines and picked about four weeks after the Kabinett, the 2022 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese offers a very clear, precise and fresh, substantial and complex nose with fresh lemon and crushed slate aromas. Round and savory on the palate, this is a pure, vibrantly fresh and elegant Sonnenuhr Spätlese with gorgeous fruit and savoriness. The finish is crunchy, saline and mouth-watering. This is a classic in the making, and it should be great in about a decade or two. There is remarkable precision and salivating length here. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023.
