Dr Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr GG Réserve Riesling 2016

The Grosses Gewächs Réserve wines are selectively harvested from the finest parcels of very old, ungrafted vines. They are naturally fermented in the same way as the GGs but stay for 24 months on the full lees in traditional Fuder casks. They are then held in bottle for a further 24 months before release. This extended maturation brings an extra dimension of finesse and balance to the wines.

Wehlener Sonnenuhr - The Sundial of Wehlen - is one of the greatest vineyards in the Middle Mosel. This precipitously steep, rocky vineyard consistently yields some of the most elegant and sophisticated white wines in the world. Citrus and white peach flavours predominate when the wines are young, turning to a pure expression of the mineral soil as they age.
