Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spatlese

2014 Mosel Riesling

Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spatlese is a stunning white wine that showcases the exceptional qualities of Riesling from the renowned Mosel region. This 2014 vintage is beautifully balanced, with a full-bodied profile that delights the palate. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the wine's lush fruit flavors. Aromas of ripe stone fruit, coupled with nuances of honey and a hint of minerality, create a complex bouquet that captivates the senses. The sweetness level is elegantly off-dry, enhancing the wine's fruit intensity and making it incredibly food-friendly. With its silky texture and well-integrated structure, this Spatlese is a true representation of the Mosel's graceful winemaking tradition.

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.
