Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese, Weingut Willi Schaefer 2018

(Willi Schaefer Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese #17) AP: 17 19. The 2018er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese was harvested at about 93° Oechsle and was fermented down to fully fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. It proves rather reduced and only gradually reveals its gorgeous nose of pineapple, greengage, herbs and fine spices, all wrapped into some whipped cream. The wine is nicely fruity and yet also racy on the palate and leaves a superb feel of herbs and minerals in the tense finish. 2028-2048
