Still very youthful on the nose, this is crammed with ripe peach, plus more delicate notes of pineapple and mangosteen. It’s a minor miracle that this kind of concentration can be packed into such a sleek, medium-bodied palate. What an amazing mouthfeel this has thanks to the seamless integration of slatey acidity and ripeness. Very long finish with spot-on balance. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
A whole bucket of yellow and exotic fruit pulls you into this rich Mosel riesling that has a wonderful creaminess and just a hint of caramel, the restrained sweetness beautifully balanced by the elegant acidity. Long, very clean finish. Drink or hold.

While tightly wound in youth and too nervous to express itself fully, there's a core of sun-drenched peach and yellow cherry lusciousness that pulsates from within here. It's still subtle on the nose, but the palate can't hide the intensity of fruit and swirls of honey and hibiscus nectar waiting to unfurl. Delicate sweetness is balanced by a lifting spray of minerality and a spine of laser-edged acidity. Hold until 2030 at least; it's a wine to enjoy over decades.

An impressively balanced and expressive auslese, with a plush well of guava, passion fruit and apricot preserves set against a wall of minerals. Alpine herbs and vibrant acidity give this a zingy freshness and racy feel, which carries the opulence well. Plum skin bitterness and some good structure make this complex and harmonious. Stunning. Drink now through 2045.

The 2022 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese was made without botrytis. This is surprisingly open with tart citrus, flashing with Meyer lemon. The palate is concentrated and sprayed with Mirabelle jelly, not opulent but measured. Serene, rounded, smooth, resonant with a lovely edge of Mirabelle and peach skin. Sweet
