Tasting notes
The 2015 Zeltlinger Sonnenuhr Auslese is very clear and smoky on the nose. This Riesling is intense and lush on the palate, with good concentration and mineral piquancy. This is dense, firmly structured and age-worthy Auslese that needs some years to relax its tight structure and gain more transparency and finesse.

Prominent scents of honeysuckle and heliotrope accompany hints of quince and apple jellies, which then assume a subtly caramelized tone on a palate of rich creaminess that nevertheless boasts fresh apple juiciness and utmost transparency to wet stone, mineral salts and haunting floral perfume. The long, mouthwatering finish both soothes and stimulates.
