The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese teases with ripe Amalfi lemon peel and summer breezes scented with lemon, carrying the promise of apricot and peach. The palate delivers wonderfully lemon-laced peach compote, utterly aromatic, vividly fruity yet absolutely clear and stony. Lemon peel gives this a wonderful contour and precision. (Medium)

Very succulent but every bit as elegant, with a fantastic creamy texture and a wet-stone freshness that makes this extremely enticing. The white flower and green apple aromas only add to that, and the delicacy at the end is fantastic. Very long and subtle finish. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese indicates fully ripe and intense fruit intermingled with saline notes of crushed rocks but also mocha nuances. Round and elegant on the palate, with lush fruit and structured by remarkably fine, crystalline and saline acidity, this is a medium-bodied, still sweet but elegant and balanced Spätlese with a salivating finish. 9% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in December 2024 (AP1824).
