From the lower part of the cru and based on botrytized grapes, the 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese opens with a ripe and candied, slightly caramelly bouquet of clear and flinty Riesling aromas intermingled with the finely weathered blue slate aromas of the ZSU. On the palate, this is a lush and piquant, dense and intense yet also delicate and stimulating Auslese with yellow plum and peach aromas, fine grip and salinity from crushed blue slate. Highly stimulating and perfectly round. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
