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.
