Trockenbeerenauslese is German and stands for the selection of dried grapes. This is the most labor-intensive and intensely concentrated wine you can produce. It is made by individually selecting only the fully shriveled, botrytis infested grapes and pressing them very slowly to yield a little bit of ultra-dense nectar. Dr. Loosen Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Trockenbeerenauslese has deeply complex aromas of fruit and is so intensely sweet on the palate that it makes you shudder. But again, Riesling's natural brilliant acidity keeps the wine lively and refreshing.
Wehlener Sonnenuhr is a famous vineyard in Germany's Moselle wine region, just a few kilometers upstream from Erdener Treppchen. The name is a reference to the sundial that sits atop a nearby chapel. The vineyard is located on a south-facing slope and benefits from ample sunshine, which helps the grapes to fully ripen. The soil in the vineyard is mainly blue and gray slate, which gives the wines produced there their characteristic mineral flavours.
The Wehlener Sonnenuhr wines are highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs around the world, and the vineyard is widely regarded as one of the best in the Moselle region.
This wine is in itself a very intense experience. If something is going to be eaten with it, maybe foie gras or roquefort.
