Wehlener Sonnenuhr is one of the crown jewels of the Mosel, and in the hands of Scholl & Hillebrand, this historic vineyard's magic is on full display. Known for its steep, slate-rich slopes and perfect sun exposure, Wehlener Sonnenuhr consistently produces Rieslings of elegance, vibrancy, and astonishing longevity.

The 1983 vintage was a dream year for the Mosel—warm, ripe, and balanced—producing Auslese wines of exceptional richness and ageability. Today, this Auslese offers a glorious symphony of aromas: candied citrus peel, golden apple, wildflower honey, petrol, and hints of dried apricot and saffron. The palate is lush but perfectly balanced, with the Mosel’s trademark lift of acidity keeping it fresh and bright even after four decades.

This is a rare opportunity to experience aged Riesling in its prime—seductive, complex, and endlessly layered, with a finish that seems to stretch on forever.

Pair with: blue cheeses, foie gras, tarte tatin, or simply as a meditation wine, savored slowly.

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!
