Picked on October 21, the 8% alcohol 2013 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Sp?tlese is still closed on the nose where herbal, stony and grapefruit aromas lead to a rich, concentrated, sweet, piquant and lingering taste with a remarkable pure and salty finish. With 74.6 grams of residual sugar and 10.1 grams of acidity, the wine seems less sweet than the de facto less sweet 2012 because of the concise minerality and piquancy. This is a very stimulating Sp?tlese indeed!

Delicate and savory, with melon, ripe citrus and mineral notes backed by ample acidity. Apple tart accents linger on the firm, focused finish. Drink now through 2030. 750 cases made.??–KM??Region: Germany / Mosel Select to Add
