So much ripe peach with a glaze of floral honey that makes this very easy to enjoy. Ripe and generous but very clean and straight on the medium-bodied palate. Very long finish in which the racy acidity and a hint of caramel are beautifully intertwined. Drink or hold. - Stuart Pigott

Incredibly intense on the nose, which is reminiscent of perfectly ripe and sweet Riesling berries that also include some percentage of botrytis, the finely flinty-scented 2022 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is fascinating from the very first moment on. Mouth-filling and savory fresh in its mineral acidity and structure, this is a dense and persistently crunchy and rocky terroir Spätlese with remarkable complexity and aging capacities. The fruit was sourced in the lower GG parcel and is based on perfectly ripe fruit with some percentage of overripe berries. Only a small fuder was bottled in April this year. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2023. - Stephan Reinhardt

The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese opens with a slatey perfume suggesting crushed stone, followed by citrus-edged peach and juicy Mirabelle. The palate is sweet, channeling very ripe, red-cheeked Mirabelle skin and peach compote. It is light but silky, smooth and ever so slightly viscous, but very fine and citrus-edged. The finish is like a peachy, aromatic lemon candy. Precise, delicate and pristine. 74.9g/L of residual sweetness. (Sweet) -- Anne Krebiehl MW
