Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2020

This estate on the Middle Mosel stands like few others for precise, site-typical Rieslings from sometimes spectacularly steep slate slopes. Numerous top sites along the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer are cultivated; harvest is carried out consistently by hand in many selective passes to capture each stage of ripeness at its best. The result is an impressive spectrum: from firm, saline-mineral estate and single-site dry Rieslings to off-dry classics and noble-sweet Auslese, Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese. Typical features are cool citrus and stone-fruit notes, pronounced slate minerality, crystal-clear acidity and an almost playful drinkability, even at high concentration. The portfolio is complemented by elegant Pinot Noir. For a premium online shop, these wines offer everything from characterful entry-level bottles to sought-after collector icons with decades of ageing potential.

The Mosel is one of Germany’s oldest and most renowned wine regions, shaped by spectacular steep slopes along the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer rivers. The sometimes extreme slate slopes store heat and give the wines a distinctive minerality.

At its heart is Riesling: filigree, fragrant and precise, with crystal-clear acidity and often lower alcohol.

Alongside Riesling, Elbling, Müller-Thurgau and increasingly exciting sparkling wines can also be found. The Mosel stands for finesse rather than power: delicate fruit, slate spice and elegant lightness. Picturesque towns such as Bernkastel, Traben-Trarbach and Winningen, together with traditional estates and historic cellars, make the region a paradise for Riesling lovers.
