Robert Parker

"The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese ** Fass 24 is based on extremely ripe and botrytized grapes from the ancient, 100- to 120-year-old vines. The two-starred wine, a "feine Auslese," as it was named until 1971, was fermented completely in foudre and is above all based on elegance and precision. The bouquet is precise and fresh, very fine and delicate despite its concentration. On the palate, this is a pure, refined and salty, sustainably structured Auslese with exciting tension as well as finesse and perfect balance. A gorgeous Auslese for the next 30 to 50 years. Bottled with 7% alcohol and 120 grams per liter of residual sugar, which are hardly noticeable due to the sharp but fine and titillating acidity and the pervasive mineral structure. Natural cork. Tasted from AP 1521 in November 2021." -Stephan Reinhardt

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
