2020 Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese

The 2020er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese was made with fruit harvested at 84° Oechsle and was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (63 g/l). Quite reductive at first, this wine quickly offers a superbly fruity and fresh nose of tangerine, orange, vineyard peach, herbs, mint, and Conference pear. It has superbly clean ripe fruits on the palate and initially shows freshness and zest. It only then reveals a creamier and smoother side. The finish is clean, nicely long, and precise. This is a superbly fruity and playful Spätlese in the making.
