Dr Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2020 - 375ml

£25.99 - With the lightest soil of all the vineyards on the long hillside from Bernkastel to Wehlen, the famous sundial vineyard produces quintessential Mosel Riesling: delicate and refined, with racy minerality. Nothing can compare with its elegance and subtlety, as this wine proves with its fine fruitiness and exquisite balance.
Auslese means selected from the harvest, and is a luscious, limited-production sweet wine made from very ripe clusters that are about 50 percent affected by botrytis. The botrytis mold (aka Noble Rot) draws moisture from the grapes, dehydrating them and concentrating the juice. The resulting wine is dense, intensely flavoured and rich on the palate, but balanced by Riesling’s naturally crisp acidity. . - Half bottle
