Max Ferd. Richter Wehlener Sonnenuhr GG - Großes Gewächs Uralte Reben 2021 - 0,75l

Max Ferd. Richter Wehlener Sonnenuhr GG – Großes Gewächs Uralte Reben 2021 is a standout Mosel Riesling that brings together old-vine concentration, steep-slope precision, and the unmistakable character of one of Germany’s most celebrated vineyards. Crafted from hand-picked fruit in the legendary Wehlener Sonnenuhr site, it combines elegance, intensity, and a striking mineral backbone. As a Großes Gewächs from a historic estate, it reflects both the pedigree of the vineyard and the Mosel’s long tradition of world-class Riesling.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass with a bright, shimmering clarity, this wine already hints at its finesse and energy. The nose opens with ripe peach, citrus zest, and subtle floral notes, followed by a pronounced slate-driven minerality that gives the wine a cool, refined edge. On the palate, it is precise and beautifully balanced, with concentrated stone fruit layered over racy acidity and a distinctly mineral finish. The old vines add depth and persistence, while the lively structure suggests excellent aging potential; over time, it is likely to develop even greater complexity, with more honeyed and savory nuances emerging.

Production
The grapes come from the steep slopes of Wehlener Sonnenuhr in the Mosel, a site renowned for its blue slate soils, excellent drainage, and ideal sun exposure. These conditions help Riesling ripen slowly while retaining vibrant freshness and distinct mineral expression. The fruit is harvested by hand from old vines, then gently pressed and vinified with care, including maturation in oak casks to preserve purity, texture, and site character.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for fine fish, shellfish, and delicate poultry dishes, especially preparations with light sauces, herbs, or subtle richness. It should be served well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and may benefit from brief decanting if enjoyed in its youth to help the aromas open fully.
