The Sundial vineyard in Wehlen is almost nothing but broken shards of blue Devonian slate. 100% Riesling from vines over 60 years old on average. Cool fermentation in a combination of stainless steel tanks and Fuder barrels, half fermented with natural yeasts, half with cultured yeasts. Alcohol 9%; RS 50.3g/L; TA 8.7g/L.
A honeyed, intense Kabinett with flavours of dried pineapple and peach along with some apple. It has a good texture and hides its sweetness well, making it a great food wine. 50.3g/l. Drinking Window 2019 - 2030. 93 points Decanter
While the nose here is intently smoky and stony, intensely ripe honeyed tangerine and lemon flavors abound on the palate. It’s a penetrating, sun-drenched kabinett marked by spine-tingling acidity and a lingering, integrated sweetness. Its pristine citrusy character shines in youth but, with time, will meld into its more earthen complexities. 91 points Wine Enthusiast
