The 2022 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese offers an intense yet pure and rocky, remarkably complex nose of perfectly ripe and well-concentrated Riesling aromas. Round and savory on the palate, this is a fresh and precise, rather nervous and mineral, persistently saline and crunchy Spätlese with a stimulating finish. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2023.(SR)

The 2022 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese comes with a tender notion of lemon balm and herbal savor, almost of crushed citrus leaf. The palate adds Mirabelle jelly and touches of lemon sorbet. It is vivid, sweet, balanced, and tender with a smooth, light, highly aromatic, serene body. Very fine, delicate and fine-boned with 65g/L of residual sweetness. (Sweet)(AK)

THIS RIESLING IS CURRENTLY ON K&L's OPEN CELLAR TASTING MENU! Selbach-Oster has been growing grapes and crafting wines in the Mosel since the 1600s and their low intervention winemaking philosophy highlights the purity of the terroir. The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard is one of the famous "sundial vineyards," that, as the name implies, capture a lot of sun due to their south/southwestern facing slopes and proximity to a large sundial built on the rocks by Jodocus Prum in 1842. This aromatic creamy Spätlese clocks in at 8% ABV with 65g/L of residual sugar! Mineral driven (from the slate soils) and bursting with lemon/lime, ripe stone and orchard fruit, and zippy acidity to tie it all together, the 2022 Selbach Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese is an excellent Mosel Riesling from a family steeped in the region's traditions.

Notes

93pts Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 21 23. The 2022er Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is a sweet wine with a beautiful nose made of creamy scents of fruit (including pear, starfruit, passion fruit, and green apple), a hint of herbs, and caraway. The wine is beautifully multi-layered on the palate and leaves a very pure and precise feel in the mouthwatering finish. The aftertaste is a glorious interplay between zesty and fruity elements. This is a great spätlese in the making! 2032-2052."
