Weiser-Kunstler 2024 Wolfer Sonnenlay Riesling Kabinett

Sonnenlay is a parcel in a side valley of gray slate. Though it is south-facing and receives ample sunlight, because it's a side valley off the Mosel it also gets cold winds which give the wines acid and tension. Always "showing earlier," a Konstantin says, this is a very friendly and round style of Riesling, which is also chiseled with a bit of ginger-spice and lemon pith. 8° alcohol, and around 39 g/l RS and a searing 10 g/l acid that completely diminishes the sense of "sweetness," making it seem more like ripeness.
