The 2019er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese offers a highly aromatic, fruit-driven, and perfumed nose of William’s pear, pineapple juice,apricot, passion fruit, banana flambé, honeyed peach, and melon, all wrapped into some white mint and a hint of toffee. The wine is superbly sweet, unctuous, and delicately smooth on the beautifully layered and intense palate. A tickly touch of acidity adds a gorgeous sensation of lightness to the nicely energetic and intense finish. This may be a comparatively opulent and rich expression of Auslese, at least by the Estate’s standards, as it flirts with BA presence. It proves no less fascinating and will be a pure joy to drink at maturity.

Intense, fresh and pure on the deep and complex yet highly refined, flinty, aromatic and tropical nose. Noble on the palate, this is a dense yet subtle, buoyant and piquant auslese with a highly refined raisin aroma and perfectly balanced sweetness, thanks to its delicately racy acidity and lightness. This is a beautifully digestible auslese. 7.5% alcohol.
