Pale yellow. Discreet floral nose with a soft scent of nectarine and Williams pear. With only 10.5 % alcohol and a corresponding lightness on the tongue, it gives the first impression of being more of a Kabinett than a Spätlese. But on the palate the wine unfolds and penetrates every corner of the mouth. At the same time, it is extraordinarily elegant and subtle, almost weightless, and yet demanding. Focused and very dry in taste, again with floral notes. Delicate mineral spice. Authentic Würzgarten style. Very long and with good reverberation.

White golden straw yellow. Vintage typical bouquet with fine aromas of star fruit and nectarine. In the mouth fine fruity, elegant, with moderate acidity, delicate sweetness and very good length. Shows in 2011 context format and its origin.

Light yellow with bright reflections. Impressively clear nose, purest slate scent with fine peach aromas. In the mouth with a juicy attack. Lots of fruit flesh that lays on the tongue; slightly tart note. Excellent acidity. The 2010 vintage does not show itself here with a prominent acidity, but excellently balanced. Sweetness and acidity are in harmony on a quantitatively high level. Refreshing and animating. Great density, and that with minimal 7 % alcohol. Very good depth, extreme length and persistence.

Light golden greenish yellow. Fascinating, multi-layered and finest, mineral scent of peach and apricot. On the tongue juicy, yet cool, with vibrating minerality, finesse-rich acidity and delicate sweetness. Concentrated fruit aromas. Green herbal notes on the finish. Excellent length and endless finish. A real cool-climate Kabinett.

Greenish golden yellow. Fulminant, fruity nose in the style of the vintage. Pure apricot aroma. Stylish arrangement of beguiling, but at no time exuberant fruit, extremely moderate acidity and great subtlety. Excellent length.

Mahogany gold. A potpourri of dried citrus fruits. Slightly oily consistency. Creamy on the tongue with excellent concentration. Ripe, rather moderate acidity to match the dry and hot vintage. Not excessively sweet. Ripe, dried orange on the finish. Exceptional length. Lingers in the mouth for hours.

Full straw yellow with golden accents. Aroma of ripe fruit, especially apricot, quince and yellow apple. On the tongue with a delicate creamy attack, fine, elegant acidity, juicy Riesling fruit and a texture reminiscent of a mealy banana. Harmonious sweetness that does not push itself into the foreground. Excellent length. A more than remarkable achievement for the extreme tropical vintage 2003.

Greenish straw yellow. Fine spicy slate nose. Elegant peach note developing with a little air, alongside delicate roasted aromas reminiscent of coffee bean. Complex opening on the palate. Roasted aromas again, but more noticeable on the tongue than in the bouquet. Juicy Riesling fruit with only slight notes of ripeness. With 9.5 % alcohol, nevertheless develops sufficient pressure in the mouth. Accentuated, but almost perfectly integrated, ripe acidity. Needs a while of air after opening the bottle. Excellent length and persistence. Very typical of its origin.

White-golden shimmering lemon yellow. Mineral bouquet marked by spicy spontaneous fermentation aromas with the finest scent of ripe citrus fruits. Great elegance, slender Spätlese style. Despite enormous lightness with quiet but penetrating fruitiness and very good presence on the palate. Restrained sweetness, ripe and integrated acidity. Excellent length, spicy finish. Mosel classic at its best. Blossoms clearly with a little air. Shows hardly any signs of age and should remain in its current top form for a long time.

White-golden shimmering lemon yellow. Mineral, quite complex bouquet marked by spontaneous fermentation aromas. Restrained scent of citrus fruits. Despite enormous lightness with quiet but insistent fruitiness and very good presence on the palate. Delicate sweetness. Piquant, excellently integrated acidity. Excellent length, elegant finish. Shows clear parallels to its counterpart from the Graacher Domprobst, the vineyard characteristics (similar to the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, just a touch spicier) clearly emerge. Hardly aged.

An exceptional wine from an exceptional vintage. Only in three vintages (1971, 1975 and 1976) did Jos. Christoffel jr. ever produce a Auslese ***** from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. In terms of must weight, this is a Beerenauslese, but in the style of a “hochfeinste” Auslese. Rests in itself and seems timeless. Magnificent elegance. A masterpiece of German Riesling culture, matured in all honour.
