Riesling Spätlese Wehlener Sonnenuhr 2020, Dr. Loosen
A monumental white for charisma, breadth, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates noble white fruits with mineral and citrus notes of extreme refinement. On the palate it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the sweetness of the vintage and the verticality of the sip. A demonstration of style that represents the pinnacle of Mosel Riesling.
Riesling Spätlese Wehlener Sonnenuhr 2020, Dr. Loosen
The Riesling Spätlese "Wehlener Sonnenuhr" 2020 by Dr. Loosen is a monumental work, a pure expression of one of the world's most iconic vineyards (the "Wehlen Sundial"). Characterized by an extreme slope and pure slate soil, this cru produces wines of legendary finesse and longevity. The 2020 vintage is one of surgical precision: the Spätlese category (late harvest) here is not synonymous with heaviness, but with a fruity density that dances in perfect balance with a vibrant acidic edge. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of white peach, crisp apricot and honeysuckle flowers blend with deep scents of wet stone, slate dust and a mineral trace reminiscent of hydrocarbon in its infancy. On the palate it is sumptuous, electric and velvety; the entry is broad, dominated by a noble yet agile sweetness, with an endless finish, savory and characterized by an aristocratic balsamic freshness.
