Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett fruity sweet

WEHLENER SONNENUHR

In 1842, Jodocus Prüm erected the Wehlener Sonnenuhr on the slate cliffs in the middle of the best Wehlen vineyards in the “Lammertlay” district. He did not intend to create a vineyard designation, but rather to make it easier for the winemakers to tell the time. Over the following years, the sundial became a trademark for the vineyard site and the town of Wehlen.

The Kabinett from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard is a residual-sweet Riesling. The blue slate soil in this famous vineyard site gives the Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett elegance and minerality. On the nose, the Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett presents aromatic notes of fresh citrus fruits such as lemons and grapefruits. Subtle floral nuances are also perceptible, which give the wine an additional dimension.

The Winery

Dr. Loosen

VDP Member Estate

The German winery is based in the Palatinate and is managed by Dr. Ernst F. Loosen. The 22 hectares of vineyards are divided into six different sites, which include the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, the Erdener Treppchen, or the Graacher Himmelreich.

The slate soils serve as good heat reservoirs for cool nights, and the Moselle river reflects sunlight onto the steep slopes during the day, where the grapes ripen.

Almost exclusively the Riesling grape variety is grown and used for production at the winery. Only 2% of the wines are made from Burgundy varieties and occasionally from Cabernet Sauvignon or Dornfelder. The family business produces up to 180,000 bottles of wine annually.
