Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese 2005
Riesling
from Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany
winemaker's notes:
This precipitously steep, rocky vineyard consistently yields
some of the most elegant and sophisticated white wines in
the world. The mineral-rich blue Devonian slate soil gives
Wehlener Sonnenuhr (pronounced VAY-len-er ZON-en-ooer)
wines a crisp acidity that perfectly balances the pure peach
and lemon fruit. It's an aristocratic and charming wine that
dances gracefully on the palate.
"This light-weight, intensely flavored Riesling shows fine crunch and snap thanks to the acidity, which creates a foil for the peach, lime and vanilla custard flavors that are woven into the creamy texture. Drink now through 2025."
