(Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese) AP: 23 20. The 2019er Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese was made from 100% shrunken raisin fruit harvested at 194° Oechsle and fermented down to fully noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (340 g/l). An initial whiff acidity quickly gives way to an aromatic, powerful, and concentrated scents of toffee, mango, raisin, mirabelle, grapefruit, passion fruit, apricot, plum, and spices. The wine develops huge concentration and depth on the palate, where a kick of acidity lifts the flavors. Despite the sweetness at play, the wine remains utterly balanced thanks to a playful acidity, its grip, and structure. The finish has an outstanding intensity. We would not be surprised if this stunning TBA will not eventually merit a perfect rating at maturity, once it will have revealed its finesse: It is THAT impressive! 2034-2069 98+ points

Wine Advocate

Fermented in stainless steel, the 2019 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is concentrated, deep and spicy on the nose that represents a perfectly selected botrytis. Rich and juicy-piquant on the palate, this is another highly finessed, elegant, rather lean and linear but balanced TBA with lingering salinity and mineral freshness thanks to the crystalline acidity from pure slate.
