This great Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese shows exactly the combination of white flower and white peach aromas with silky succulence and extraordinary freshness that made these wines legendary. There’s a healthy amount of unfermented grape sweetness, but the interplay of this with the myriad other components is so complex and fascinating. Super-graceful finish that feels like stroking satin. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. - Stuart Pigott

Lifted and refined, with ripe apple and pear that glide seamlessly across the palate, which is punctuated by savory elements of dried thyme and oregano and underscored by smoky mineral details. Streamlined and fluid, with razor-sharp acidity softened by the sweetness for perfect balance. Ends on a refreshing note. Drink now through 2046. - KB
