The Story

The famous “sundial” vineyard, in the village of Wehlen, produces the quintessential Mosel Riesling: delicate and refined, with a racy texture and endless charm.

Vintage 2017

Germany/ Quality rather than quantity: 2017 has great potential!

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is green-yellow and light. On the nose it is open, youthful, fresh, generous and pure. The taste is fresh, fruity, refined, harmonious, fragrant, vivid, and medium-sweet, and high in acidity, light, with balanced, well-integrated structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has white fruits, citrus, apricot, floral, perfumed, mineral and honey flavours. The finish is long, lingering, flavorful, pure and vibrant. This wine is transparent and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years.
