Robert Parker
"The Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese *** 2017 (Golden Capsule) is subtle and understated yet concentrated and deep on a delicate nose, with notes of light peach (white), spicy lemon chutney and crystalline slate. Lush, spicy and silky, with very light, elegant fruit and great finesse, this is a rich yet fine and precise Wehlener Sonnenuhr whose acidity is terribly delicate yet defined and ruthless as a laser beam. This is a magnificent and already challenging Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese of great class and style." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Stephan Reinhardt)
