Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese *** Fass 42 2021

The Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese*** Fass 42 brings the full concentration of flavours of ancient rootless vines into the glass. The deep-rooted vines, which were planted in the shiny blue slate of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr at the beginning of the 19th century, convey the terroir of this world-famous vineyard in the most vivid way. The nose already shows notes of slate spice, ripe, almost exotic yellow fruit and smoky mineral nuances. On the palate, a fine botrytis touch mixes with juicy ripe tropical fruit. The brilliant acidity carries the fruit and sweetness almost floating over the tongue. Beautifully stiff background with a penetrating racy and mineral aftertaste. An extremely energetic Auslese - holds tension and length for half an eternity!
