"The steep Sonnenuhr (Sundial) vineyard consistently yields some of the most elegant wines in the world. This Riesling Kabinett is racy and crisp, with lovely citrus aromas. It is naturally light in alcohol and is an ideal companion to mildly spicy stir fry dishes, a wide variety of Asian cuisine or simply serve it as a welcome drink.
Wehlener Sonnenuhr (pronounced VAY-len-er ZON-en-ooer) was rated “First Vineyard” (Erste Lage) in the 1868 Prussian classification of the Mosel, and “Great First-Class” in the Wine Atlas of Germany by Hugh Johnson & Stuart Pigott (1995).
In 2012 it was classified as Grosse Lage (Grand Cru) by the VDP, Germany’s top growers association. This precipitously steep, rocky vineyard with mineral-rich, blue Devonian slate soil gives the wines a crisp acidity that perfectly balances the pure peach and lemon fruit.
With the lightest soil of all the vineyards on the long hillside from Bernkastel to Wehlen, the famous “sundial” vineyard produces the quintessential Mosel Riesling: delicate and refined, with racy minerality and endless charm. The early picked Kabinett Prädikat (ripeness level) is the lightest and most delicate style of German Riesling that is possible to produce. Nothing can compare with its elegance and subtlety, as this wine proves with its fine fruitiness and exquisite balance." - Dr Loosen
