2023 Markus Molitor Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese Sweet

風味筆記：酒體清亮、果香豐富，第一時間跳出成熟水蜜桃、杏子與油桃的甜美果味，伴有橙花與淡淡蜂蜜香，舌上多汁但不膩，礦質感與爽朗酸度把甜味托起，口感滑順，中段豐盈，收結乾淨且帶點石性鹹感。
酒莊與田地：出自Wehlener Sonnenuhr——極具名氣的日晷坡，南向、坡陡且滿布頁岩礦質，吸熱好、熟度高。馬庫斯梅麗特家族酒莊重視分地管理與低產量栽培，晚收果實多經人工篩選，品質控制嚴格。
釀造小誌：人工採收、嚴格篩選後以溫和手法壓榨，低溫發酵以保留香氣與果味，刻意保留餘糖以呈現甜感層次，同時保留活潑酸度讓酒不失清爽。建議輕醒約30分鐘再飲，口感會更綿密、果香與礦感更協調。

Tasting note: Bright, fragrant and juicy — this Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese opens with lifted aromas of ripe peach, apricot and nectarine edged by orange blossom and light honeyed notes. Flinty slate minerality supports the fruit, while a racy acidity keeps the generous sweetness fresh. The medium-bodied palate is succulent and well-balanced, finishing clean and lingering with a saline, slightly stony thread.
Producer & vineyard: From Markus Molitor’s celebrated Wehlener Sonnenuhr site — a steep, south-facing, slate-rich slope famed for intense ripeness and mineral clarity. The estate is family-run and renowned for meticulous vineyard work, low yields and selective late harvesting to concentrate flavours.
Winemaking: Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted at harvest. Gentle pressing and cool, controlled fermentation preserve aromatic intensity; fermentation is managed to retain harmonious residual sweetness while maintaining vibrant acidity. The result is an elegant, terroir-driven sweet Spätlese that balances ripeness with precision.
Serve slightly chilled after ~30 minutes of breathing to allow perfume and mid-palate to open. Drink now through the next two decades for evolving honeyed and mineral layers.
