Review Date: 08/2024What an incredible interplay of golden fruit aromas and fantastic spicy complexity this enormously concentrated and creamy Mosel riesling has. Not analytically dry, but with spot-on balance, and everything is perfectly integrated on the medium-bodied palate. An extremely long, caressing finish makes you forget all your troubles. Ur alt means very old in German, and this wine comes from this producer’s oldest vines, planted pre-1910. Drink or hold.

92pts Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 15 24. The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Feinherb 2023 “Ur” alte Reben MCM, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is an off-dry wine made from clean fruit harvested in a parcel planted with century-old un-grafted vines situated in the prime Class I Lieu-Dit Kackert, and which formerly belonged the von Schorlemer Estate. It displays a beautifully aromatic and captivating nose of almond cream, candied pineapple, pink grapefruit, thyme, laurel, cinnamon, toast, and licorice. The wine proves super light and quite airy on the palate, and the delicate creamy elements are quickly wrapped in punchier, zest notes of spices and herbs. The finish is comparatively lean and focused, and nicely mouth-watering. This lighter version of off-dry Ur Alte Reben is superb."(01/2025)
