More information on wine critics and ratings

The famous Sonnenuhr vineyard, in the village of Wehlen, produces the quintessential Mosel Riesling: elegant and refined, with a racy texture and endless charm. This precipitously steep and rocky vineyard yields some of the most elegant and sophisticated white wines in the world.

The distinctive blue slate soil gives the wines a delicate, crisp acidity that perfectly balances the pure peach and lemon fruit. It’s a lively wine that dances gracefully on the palate

James Suckling (JS) : 94 Points (2022)
Brimming with stone fruits with delicate floral honey and caramelized pear aromas. Ripe and generous, but with a lively acidity that keeps this moving briskly over the palate. Long finish in which creamy and crisp elements are beautifully balanced. Drink or hold. (8/2023)

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 93 Points (2022)
The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese 2022, harvested without botrytis, shows a mere glimpse of lemon, almost of lemon balm, on the nose. The palate is sweet, referencing peach compote and citrus-laced gelee de fruit. The palate is fine and poised, always pricking with a lemon zestiness. The long, sweet finish is serenely balanced at around 55-60g/L of residual sweetness. (Sweet) (AK) (10/2023)

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 93 Points (2021)
There is a beautiful harmony in this white, between the well-defined flavors of apricot, cantaloupe, baked pear and allspice, and its prominent acidity that lends it a vivid structure. The texture is sleek and the finish is long, luscious and filled with marzipan paste. It is so delicious now, but with 5-10 years, this will be a real beauty

Robert Parker (RP) : 92 Points (2021)
The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is clear, bright and fresh on the lemony-scented nose that reveals lemon and grapefruit zest and flinty as well as reductive notes. Lush and savory on the palate, this is an elegant and luscious Spätlese still dominated by the sulfur dosage but very promising in its balanced juiciness and elegance.Barrel Sample: 90-92

Wine Spectator (WS) : 90 Points (2019)
Vivid and well-defined, this white punctuates its peach, green apple and lime flavors with brisk acidity. Ends with a crisp, mouthwatering finish. Best from 2024 through 2042. (10/2021)
