Tasting notes
AP number 14 17. Intense aroma of pure apricot fruit with a touch of pineapple exoticism. That same tropical flavour on the finish. Flowing and viscous but not excessively sweet thanks to the freshness on the finish. Still very primary and showing little bottle age. (JH)

Super elegant and filigree with a delicacy that you don\'t find in many other high-end white wines regardless of grape variety and region of origin. A very long and clean finish. Drink or hold.
The 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (Gold Capsule) is clear, fine and subtle yet concentrated, with vegetal and ripe fruit aromas. Rich, round and piquant, this is an intense and densely woven Auslese (AP 14 17) with a long, tensioned and refreshing mineral finish that lifts the sweet fruit. Gorgeous but made for another decade.
