Tasting notes
AP number 14 20. Pale greenish straw. Firm and fresh on the nose. Really confident and luscious with a light ginger note, cantaloupe-melon flavour and masses of personality. So, so juicy and flirtatious. Pure clean mouthwash on the end. (JR)

Theoretically, the Spatlese category is no longer cool, because these wines are medium-sweet and therefore not food-friendly (try tempura, Vienna Schnitzel or Thai red curry). But this is a masterpiece of floral finesse! Lovely, mandarin note at the long, delicate and just off-dry finish. Drink or hold.
The 2019 Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese opens with a bright and coolish, very delicate and filigreed bouquet of herbal/floral aromas intertwined with bright, young spring fruit and aromas of broken slate. On the palate, this is a round, charming, highly finessed and very elegant Spätlese with the lovely fruit and juiciness of the JSU and its unrivaled finesse. The weightless finish is salty-piquant, precise and highly stimulating. This 2019 is a picture-book Spätlese from the Juffer Sonnenuhr. Tasted as a sample in April 2020.
AP number 07 20. TA 8.2 g/l, RS 84 g/l. Something almost metallic on the nose. Juicy and bright-fruited. Lots to chew on. Very backward. (JR)
