The tense balance of ripeness and acidity brings the minerality into sharp focus. Hints of orange peel, apricot and pineapple are balanced by a lingering minerality. An exciting wine by any standards.
Try with hot and spicy Thai or Indian dishes. Also goes well with blue cheeses, foie gras or dark chocolate desserts.
A wine with ripe peach and honeysuckle notes on the nose, and a comlex palate with mineral notes, and balancing acidity. True to the Markus Molitor style this rich, ripe wine also has great length.
Aromas reminiscent of acacia honey, full ripened peach, mango, flint stone, mace and white pepper. Perfect balance of acidity and sweetness, creamy, clear minerality, nice slate flavours on the palate.
Wehlener Sonnenuhr is a precipitously steep and rocky vineyard which yields some of the most elegant and sophisticated white wines in the world. It has very thin soil and the purest blue slate of any Mosel vineyard. This gives a lively minerality to the wine, along with a delicate and crisp acidity that perfectly balances the bright white peach and lemon fruit. It’s an aristocratic and charming wine that dances gracefully on the palate.
