From a very steep and stony vineyard close to the Mosel river, the 2015 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Rotlay had the highest infection of botrytis of the single-plot trio. The wine opens with a clear, perfectly ripe, intense and spicy mirabelle and grapefruit bouquet with delicate flinty slate aromas. Round, lush and sweet this is a generous and mouth-watering Auslese with a piquant acidity, a good mineral grip. The finish is intense, very long, pure and salty, full of grip and tension. This wine is enormously rich, but not fat and it just needs 15-20 years of bottle age to become a legend.
