From 80- to 90-year-old vines picked at 78° Oechsle, the 2022 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett opens with a pretty reductive and sulfidic bouquet with stony and herbal notes wrapping around the bright fruits and white blossom aromas. This wine needs lots of air, but Constantin has already fallen in love with the nose now. Savory, clear and refined on the palate, with crystalline, finely grained acidity and a salivating taste of slate, this is a very promising Kabinett from the iconic cru in Wehlen. The 2022 should be aged for at least 5-10 years, and it will reward your patience with great finesse and complexity. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023.

Picked from 80- to 90-year-old vines with the fruit at around 75° to 76° Oechsle, Richter's 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett offers pure yet intense and concentrated, flinty-scented fruit with citrus and red cassis aromas. Round and savory on the palate, with crystalline acidity and perfectly round fruit, this is an elegant and refined WSU with redcurrant notes on the saline finish. The acidity is fine but everything else is shy except for the great expression of the blue slate in the Sonnenuhr. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.

A slim white, marked by a mix of peach, lime and mineral. Lively and firm, with very good length. Drink now. 600 cases made, 224 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Germany / Mosel Select to Add

From predominantly 80+-year-old vines cultivated in the lower and upper part of the slope and therefore partly (25%) harvested four weeks apart, the 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett offers the typically pure and mineral, salty and stony notes of the famous WSU that already comes as an uncompromisingly pure and flinty, citric-scented wine of remarkable complexity and tension on the nose. The palate starts fresh and piquant, very nervy and vital, with lots of salt and lingering mineral tension. In the end, there is nothing of the generous, luscious character of the WSU but all the purity, tension and salinity. This is a complex and exciting long-distance runner that will always fascinate but even more so in eight to 10 years. The 2020 was aged in casks and steel (50/50) and is a true classic that is far apart from most of the Kabinetts from this marvelous terroir. This is, again, a Must Buy of the vintage. Bottled with 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted from AP 1921 in November 1121.

From 80-year-old vines predominantly from the original Sonnenuhr plot below the sundial, the 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett opens with still reductive, sulfuric yet also beautifully floral, bright and elegant fruit aromas that indicate remarkable delicacy. Round and finessed on the elegant and refined palate, this is a very intense, sweet and persistently salty-mineral WSU with great finesse and length. Persistently salty. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
