Based on at least 50% botrytis, the 2017 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese is intense and concentrated but fine and slatey on the nose, with crushed stone and some citrus fruit aromas. On the palate, this is a lush, intense, charming and delicate Auslese with good grip and a firm, slightly "greenish" and stimulatingly salty finish. Keep this for at least a decade. Tasted in March 2019.

The intense acidity acts as a backbone and drives the flavors of yellow apple, lemon curd and orange blossom honey, with hints of spruce. Electric and pungent, this shows lots of complexity and is just starting to come together. Beautiful length. Best from 2021 through 2036. 75 cases imported.??–AZ??Region: Germany / Mosel Select to Add
