2015 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spatlese GK
Buying options
Tasting notes
Stainless steel. RS 80 g/l. More restrained than the Ürziger, with lots of flint. Ripe lemon. Pure and clean. Not quite the tension and presence of the Ürziger, but rather elegant. (TJ)

The 2015 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese (Golden Capsule) displays the herbal bouquet of the Kabinett but is certainly more deep, concentrated and complex. The wine has great finesse on the palate, and its crystalline acidity and lingering salinity carry the perfectly ripe and lush fruit to a long, vibrating and mouth-watering finish. This Spätlese is highly finessed and complex and—along with the 2015 Scharzhofberger—probably the finest Spätlese I have tasted from the vintage.
