Dr. Loosen Description
The famous Sonnenuhr vineyard, in the village of Wehlen, produces the quintessential Mosel Riesling: elegant and refined, with a racy texture and endless charm. This precipitously steep and rocky vineyard yields some of the most elegant and sophisticated white wines in the world. The distinctive blue slate soil gives the wines a delicate, crisp acidity that perfectly balances the pure peach and lemon fruit. It’s a lively wine that dances gracefully on the palate.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Brimming with stone fruits with delicate floral honey and caramelized pear aromas. Ripe and generous, but with a lively acidity that keeps this moving briskly over the palate. Long finish in which creamy and crisp elements are beautifully balanced. Drink or hold.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese, harvested without botrytis, shows a mere glimpse of lemon, almost of lemon balm, on the nose. The palate is sweet, referencing peach compote and citrus-laced gelee de fruit. The palate is fine and poised, always pricking with a lemon zestiness. The long, sweet finish is serenely balanced at around 55-60g/L of residual sweetness.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
Elegant and full of ripe apple, pear and peach flavors in an attractive, easy-going way. It is balanced, with enough complexity to keep it interesting, yet not too intellectual.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Warm and inviting, with a good balance between juicy ripeness and savory verve. Offers mouthwatering pink grapefruit acidity, while sun tea and orange marmalade notes add warmth. A well-integrated mineral spine keeps the energy high.
