From one of the Mosel's most legendary vineyards: the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, a steep, south-facing slope of blue Devonian slate named for the sundial ('Sonnenuhr') a 19th-century grower built so his pickers could tell the time. Dr. Loosen owns old ungrafted vines here, some over a century old, farmed without irrigation and fermented with native yeast. At Kabinett ripeness, the wine is lightly sweet but so charged with slate-driven acidity that it tastes almost dry — delicate, filigreed and built to age for decades. This is a grand-cru-quality site in all but name, and one of the benchmark expressions of Mosel Riesling.

"The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett offers hints of wet stone, clementine and Amalfi lemon peel tones on its aromatic, serene nose. The palate's slight sweetness and juiciness makes the mouth water. It's dripping with freshness and verve. There's such a citric quality that defines this exuberant wine." —Anne Krebiehl MW

"The 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett shows the typical refined and fragrant slate and bright, elegant Riesling aromas of this famous terroir. The 2023 Kabinett is light, round and lush, effortless in its generosity and finesse and stimulatingly saline in its delicate and irresistible finish. This is a superb Kabinett for impenitent drinking. It is a little drier than the likewise beautiful Würzgarten. 8.5% stated alcohol."

"Fresh in feel, with a delicate floral perfume followed by juicy elderflower, peach and candied green apple flavors. Finely structured and lifted, with finely crushed slate and wet rock notes giving the off-dry finish polished precision. Drink now through 2029."

Wine Enthusiast

90 points

"A step up in intensity, this Kabinett has a more vibrant fruit profile with layers of green apple, citrus, and a touch of peach. The length is impressive for a wine at this level, and there's a nice balance between sweetness and acidity, making it both refreshing and well-structured. A very solid, enjoyable wine." —Aleks Zecevic
