Simply a brilliant Spätlese in a wonderful spot for early drinking at eight years of age, this 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr from S. A. Prum is a lighter example of the Prädikat, with a playful balance of apricots, nectarines and chamomile and zesty acidity that features limes and bitter orange. It produces a lovely harmony on the palate that serves as a reminder of how brilliant a style Spätlese can be in balancing Riesling’s acidity with its propensity toward a sweeter style. Lovely stuff.

Starts fresh and vibrant with honeysuckle.... then a viscous midpalate... finishes with slight petrol. Got better as the night went on. Straw color shows some sign of maturity... but taste like it has good years ahead.

Subtle petrol. Clean mineral. Balanced acid with round body and vibrant citrus. Easy drinking with depth, precision and tradition.

Great sweet wine to accompany Szechuan food. Clean sweet flavor followed by acidic and slightly effervescent finish. Not extraordinary but straightforward and good.

Mosel är alltid Mosel, även när det är SA P. Melon, saffran, apelsinskal.

8% abv yet still somewhat dry. Great acidity with just a touch of sweetness on the finish. Great all on its own!
