Outrageous nose of peach, apricot, flowers galore and so perfumed. Elite hand lotion. Yes! Citrus, green tomato and honey. Certifiable freak show. Just glorious. Unreal palate. Such cut and precision and killer acids. Inner mouth florals are stunning and the balance is off the charts. Amazing purity and clarity. I love how the sugars just adds textures and roundness. Brilliant and rocking now but will age 30+. — 4 months ago

"Rotlay, a South facing parcel, is the single best parcel within the Sonnenuhr vineyard. Rotlay holds vines between 90-100 years old. The position of this vineyard is important as it sits in a "hot spot" between the cliff and river and is the site where it's typical for botrytis to form each year. There's approximately 1350 bottles produced from 1 neutral barrel (Fuder) for both fermentation and aging." — 2 years ago
Jun 2025: classic Mosel, lacks some individuality — a year ago
Green apples, slight honey and petrol. There is a sweetness to the acidity. It’s delicate. There is a slight wet creek rock meets little white wild flowers taste to it. I feel like I should be by a gently flowing river in spring that you would find in a Disney movie… maybe sitting in a canoe. I would pair this with a Pudelpointer, a water fowl retrieving dog from Germany. Both wine and dog are friendly, calm, and disciplined. — 3 years ago
