Max Ferdinand Richter Wehlener-Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling (2021)

Product Description

What a brilliant play of scents! Cool, subtle, almost elevated above itself. First florally fragrant at the start with lots of white flowers and even a little jasmine (jasmine!!!). Then, after a little contact with the air pure slate minerality and smoky elements of wet flint. The fruit is submissive in the bouquet and completely subordinate to the minerality with its strong character. Only gradually does the lovely fruit take its rightful place. Extremely mouth-watering on the palate, with a juicy fruit flavour and delicate, aparent sweetness. The racy acidity really stretches out like a bow and aims its vibrating arrow right into the fruity centre of the sweetness. This results in an incredibly refined interplay on the palate. A Spätlese with great inner richness, but all kept in a slender format. Offers lots of juicy pull with the best drinking animation, underpinned with smoky mineral tones in the wonderful, almost floating finish. This it the best!

What the Experts say

94

Robert Parker

Picked at 87° Oechsle but from 90-year-old, ungrafted vines and with lots of sugar-free dry extract, the 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese opens with intense and generous, ripe and even concentrated fruit with very fine notes of crushed slate and fresh lemon juice. Round and refined on the palate, this is a delicious, very delicate and vivacious Spätlese with typical WSU finesse and fine acidity that is interwoven with the characteristic and so stimulating salinity on the finish. This is a lush and almost erotic Spätlese that needs a decade to become really seductive. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
