Wine Review: This clear and medium straw-colored Riesling from Dr. Loosen is excellent! It opens with a candied lemon and peach bouquet with hints of lime zest and ginger ale. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is fresh, bright, and pleasantly balanced acidity and sweetness. The flavor profile is a very tasty lemon and green tea blend with notes of lychee and green apple. I also detected hints of ginger and pineapple. The finish remains pleasantly sweet, and its flavors and acidity show nice length. I would pair this Riesling with Pam’s macaroons. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The late harvest wine from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard stands for finesse, precision, and crystal-clear elegance. In the glass, the typical Sonnenuhr signature is revealed: delicate white peach, lime zest, green apple, and fine apricot fruit, accompanied by floral hints of acacia and citrus blossom. On the palate, the fine, dancing sweetness combines with a brilliant, vibrant acidity and the cool slate minerality that has made this vineyard world-famous. The texture remains consistently light, delicate, and silky, imbued with an elegance possessed only by great Mosel late harvest wines. With increasing maturity, aromas of honey, candied citrus fruits, and a subtle hint of petrol develop without ever losing their freshness. Pairs well with Asian cuisine such as Thai curry, summer rolls, or duck à l'orange.
