Wehlen Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett
This is a balanced wine with high acidity and low alcohol. In its youth this wine appears fruity, but mellows over time with an aging potential of 30-40 years in bottle. This vintage is a fruit driven, balanced wine with lemon and lime, green apple, and peach notes’ with firm acidity and a mineral finish. Fantastic with Asian or spicy cuisine but also with salads, seafood, white meats and light veal dishes.

This wine is quite zesty with honeysuckle and cream hints behind the stone fruits. Pristine lemon, apple and quince are tart and vital with a lime acidity and deep core of citrus flavors. Pairs with salads, fish, fowl and all sorts of meats from wild game such as Boar to pheasants to more traditional lamb and grilled beef. Good with straight grilled beef without heavy sauces.
