Wehlener Sonnenuhr

2010 Mosel Riesling

The Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr from the renowned Mosel region exemplifies the elegance of Riesling with its vibrant white hue. This vintage from 2010 showcases a medium body that seamlessly balances richness and delicacy. The acidity is bright and lively, contributing to a refreshingly mouthwatering quality that invigorates the palate. With a prominent fruit intensity, this wine reveals enticing notes of green apple, peach, and subtle hints of apricot, harmonizing beautifully with its aromatic floral undertones. There is a delightful off-dry sweetness that enhances its complexity, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with a variety of dishes, from spicy Asian cuisine to rich cheese platters. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression that invites another sip.

Region:


Mosel

When it comes to quality Riesling, few places can rival Germany's Mosel region. This sheer-sided valley in Germany parallels the river of the same name and is home to some of the world's steepest vineyards. Riesling grown here is prized throughout the world for its slight sweetness, perfectly balanced by crisp acidity and aromatic floral perfume. Notes of green fruit and Meyer lemon add to the pleasant tang, with mineral touches of wet slate, beeswax and—in some aged examples—even petroleum too. It is all thanks to Mosel's very cool climate. Temperatures in the summer often don't even rise above 65 degrees. This allows for a long growing season, concentrating flavors and creating beautiful acidity.
