From steep, grey-slate slopes, this wine comes from the famous Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyards that the Mosel Valley are so well known for. There is no botrytis (noble rot) giving the wine a purity of fruit – apricot, clementine, ginger and dried orange peel. There is a fleshy quality on the palate that is elevated by the racy acidity, leaving it fresh and vibrant. This is so delicious and exactly what you want from an Auslese. Drink from 2028 to 2040. 7.5% [5- Medium Sweet]

The Juffer Sonnenuhr, meaning 'the sundial of Juffer' is a breathtaking parcel within the Juffer, in the village of Brauneberg.

Mandarin, jasmine and quince notes are supported with honey, ginger and a touch of cinnamon spice. The acidity is racy and the residual sugar is wonderfully inviting. Drink from 2028 to 2040. 8% [6- Sweet]
