Winery Notes:
The Juffer Sonnenuhr is the choicest center cut of the Brauneberg — the steepest and most south-facing part of the hillside. This Grosse Lage (grand cru) site produces profound, distinctive wines with great purity and concentration.
The Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese is an intensely fruity yet delicate Riesling from fully ripe grapes, made in the moderately sweet Spätlese style.

Very youthful and expressive, with so much mandarin, white peach, nectarine and honeysuckle, this is a beautiful Spätlese, in which the succulent sweetness is beautifully balanced by the lively, lemony acidity. And beneath all this is a mineral core. Drink or hold.

Aromatic, this Riesling reveals tangerine, apricot, spice and mineral aromas and flavors allied to an elegant profile. Reveals a ripe, fruity character offset by vibrant acidity. Shows fine balance and length. Drink now through 2040.
