Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese fruity sweet
WEHLENER SUNDIAL This vineyard lies opposite Wehlen on the right bank of the Moselle River, boasts a steep slope, and features deep blue slate soil. It produces elegant, mineral Rieslings, well-suited for the production of off-dry wines. Classified as a Premier Cru on the Prussian vineyard map, these wines are gaining increasing popularity today due to their delicate fruit aromas. The Dr. Loosen winery has been family-owned for over 200 years. Ernst Loosen has managed the family business since 1988 and immediately recognized the untapped potential of these vineyard sites and their vines. The ungrafted vines, averaging over 60 years old, are and have become the foundation for unique and exceptional wines. Key changes implemented included reducing yields and adapting cellar techniques, which now allow the wine to develop its full potential. The Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese captivates with its aromas of gooseberry, pineapple, and a hint of kiwi. Highly concentrated, dense and complexly balanced by the racy acidity, making it very charming.

The German winery is located in the Palatinate region and is managed by Dr. Ernst F. Loosen. Its 22 hectares of vineyards are divided among six different sites, including the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, the Erdener Treppchen, and the Graacher Himmelreich. The slate soils act as excellent heat reservoirs for cool nights, and the Moselle River reflects sunlight onto the steep slopes where the grapes ripen. The winery cultivates and uses almost exclusively Riesling grapes for its production. Only 2% of the wines are made from Pinot Noir varieties, with occasional use of Cabernet Sauvignon or Dornfelder. The family-run business produces up to 180,000 bottles of wine annually.
