2020 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Großes Gewächs Dr. Loosen

The 2020 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Dry Vieilles Vignes is made in old-school fashion and spent two years in barrel. Just one Fuder was made. Earthiness and smoothness mark the ripeness of the year, trailing ripe russet pear. It is on the palate that the nobility of the Sonnenuhr blue slate asserts itself. This has svelteness and brightness, with utter depth that is defined by dried citrus peel. The dry finish is wonderfully bright, while that initial earthiness lives on as a textural, lasting element. (Bone-dry)
