Willi Schaefer Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett 2023

From a 0.24-hectare plot located at the bridge on the premier etage of this world-famous cru, the 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett opens with a clear, remarkably intense and textural bouquet of perfectly ripe fruits intermingled with beautIfully saline and savory slate aromas. Fabulous. Lush yet refined and very elegant on the palate, this is a Kabinett that's impossible to spit and swirl in the mouth. Because it is so beautifully balanced, seamlessly textured and stimulatingly saline, this crystalline, mouth-filling and intense Kabinett is absolutely gorgeous. Everything here sits in the right spot, and the finish is just moderately sweet and beautifully frisky. Calculate one bottle per person as an aperitif. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024 from AP 19 24.
