Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese fruity sweet

The Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese fruchtsüß from Dr. Loosen is one of the great names in the Mosel region – and a wine that shows what Riesling is truly capable of.

The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard lies steeply on the right bank of the Moselle, with deep blue slate soil that gives the wine its distinctive minerality. Ernst Loosen, who has run the family winery since 1988, relies on ungrafted vines over 60 years old and consistently low yields – conditions that are noticeable in the glass.

This selection is made from fully ripe, botrytized grapes, hand-picked and gently vinified. The result is a fruity-sweet Riesling with a luminous golden color, aromas of ripe peaches, dried apricots, and a subtle slate note – supported by a lively, fresh acidity that perfectly balances the sweetness.

Recommended for enjoyment:

  • As an accompaniment to blue cheese, foie gras or spicy Asian dishes
  • Neat as a dessert wine – best served slightly chilled at around 8–10 °C
  • An ideal gift for Riesling lovers and Mosel connoisseurs.

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.
