2021 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling GG

Still very cloudy, the 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr GG is wonderfully intense but bright and clear as well as finely flinty on the nose that also shows the delicate, weathered blue slate aromas of the famous cru from whose lower section this cru is sourced (adjacent to Markus Molitor and Dr. Loosen). On the palate, this is a dense and intense, lush and enormously salty, very long and stimulating WSU that was fermented fully dry but remains lean on the tensioned finish. Still very cloudy but very, very promising and long. 12.5% alcohol. Tasted as a sample in July 2022.
