Origin

This steep 45 hectare (111 acres) south-southwest-facing site features soil composed of stony, grey weathered Devonian slate. Wines from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr are elegant, succulent, finely scented, with ripe acidity and a silky mineral finish.

At the end of October, the grapes were harvested and stringently sorted by hand. This resulted in 100% healthy berries, that were gently crushed and macerated for several hours on their aroma- and mineral-rich skins. The must fermented slowly and spontaneously at low temperatures so that the wine’s multi-faceted fruity aromas could develop perfectly. Subsequently, the wine was carefully matured on the lees in an amphora over an extended period of time
