Tasting Notes

Vinous David Schildknecht - 01 Nov 16
This is especially shrouded by yeasty and otherwise fermentative aromas, but site-typical apple, pear and vanilla emerge. The creamy, delicate and expansive palate offers a delightful, chiffon-like mingling of fresh and glazed, confitured fruits. Vanilla bean and fruit seeds provide counterpoint on a lusciously lingering finish transparent to stony and saline inflections as well as haunting floral nuances.

Clear and ultra-ripe Riesling aromas, along with fine slate flavors opens the 2014 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese (AP #01 15). This is a generous, lush and voluptuous Riesling made from super ripe but obviously healthy Riesling fruits. The finish is piquant and salty, as well as very stimulating. This is a very digestible Auslese that tastes even drier than the Spätlese.
