"Picked on November 8, the 8% alcohol plus 97.5 residual sugar 2012 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Rotlay offers a very stony scented Sonnenuhr, as well as Riesling bouquet in a very delicate and noble way. On the palate this full-bodied "Auslese" is elegant, delicate and juicy, but also full of salty minerals and tension. This is a great and noble sweet Rotlay. Its aging potential should be terrific."
