The 2018 Schloss Lieser Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is an expressive Mosel Riesling crafted by Thomas Haag from the renowned Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard. It shows ripe apple, melon and yellow stone fruit alongside mango, honeysuckle and delicate floral notes, creating a generous and beautifully aromatic expression of Riesling.
On the palate, it is light and graceful despite the richness of the vintage, with ripe orchard and tropical fruit balanced by refreshing acidity. Peach, melon and exotic fruit flow through a smooth, glossy texture, while floral and mineral notes bring freshness and definition. The finish is delicate yet persistent, with juicy acidity maintaining excellent balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Riesling drinkers who enjoy mature Mosel Spätlese with generous fruit, delicate sweetness and refreshing acidity. Already showing attractive development, it also has the structure to continue evolving in bottle. Ideal with spicy Asian dishes, roast pork, duck, grilled prawns, aromatic curries or fruit-based desserts.
