Vineyards:
Zeltinger Sonnenuhr:
- Located in the heart of the Moselle (Mosel) Valley in Germany
- The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr is a world-class vineyard famous for its steep slopes and exceptional Rieslings
- Sur Lie (~10 Months): Aged on natural lees to build a creamy texture and structural depth
- Traditional Fuder: Matured in large 1,000L old oak casks, allowing the wine to "breathe" without overpowering it with woody flavors.
- Minimal Intervention: A slow, natural process without heavy filtering to preserve the pure slate minerality.
- “Sonnenuhr” means “sundial” – one of Mosel’s most iconic vineyards
- Grosses Gewächs (GG) is the highest classification for dry German wines, equivalent of a "Grand Cru" for dry wines.
- Ancient slate soils give remarkable mineral depth

Vinoteka's note
Dry Riesling from the heart of the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, one of the Mosel's great slate slopes. Mirabelle plum, apricot and smoky slate, with a touch of the old oak cask. Only 12% alcohol: light on its feet and built to age.
“An incredibly graceful dry Mosel riesling with super-refined peachy fruit that feels almost weightless.”James Suckling · 98 / 100 · 2023
