Beautifully cool limes and peaches with some fresh herbs and very fresh, flinty notes, as well as sliced green mangoes. Delicious! The palate has such impeccable balance and has tautness to it that is so engaging. Long, seamlessly refreshing flavors of limes and green-apple sorbet and a fresh, zippy finish. Drink over the next decade or more.

The 2017 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett is clear and bright on the nose, with ripe and intense but still discreet fruit aromas that intertwine perfectly with the slatey notes of the Sonnenuhr. On the palate, this is a mouth-filling, lush, creamy, salty-piquant, straight and pretty firm yet stimulating Kabinett with grip and tension on the finish. For now, I prefer the Graacher, but the Wehlener will surely develop and merit an even better score in a couple of years. Tasted in March 2019.
