Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling GG
The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard is considered one of the great Riesling sites of the Middle Moselle – a steep, blue slate slope facing south, with extreme heat radiation. Schloss Lieser, one of the renowned wineries in the Bernkastel-Kues area, vinifies a Grand Cru from it, a wine that needs and deserves time.
In the glass, a wine reveals itself that doesn't yet give its all: aromas of ripe yellow fruit, dried herbs, and a distinct yeasty note—classic signs of a young, dense Mosel Riesling still developing. With aeration, it opens up, revealing delicate anise notes and a hint of wax. The minerality comes from the slate soil, not from the label.
On the palate: firm, vibrant acidity, juicy fruit with real grip—not a soft, easy-drinking wine, but a Riesling with backbone and depth. Citrus zest in the background, a long, crisp finish. Open it now and you'll get a wine still developing; wait and you'll be rewarded with complexity. Drinking window: 2025–2035.
