Schiffmann-Junk Riesling Auslese Mosel 2018 – Elegant dessert wine from the famous Juffer Sonnenuhr

Schiffmann-Junk Riesling Auslese Mosel 2018 is a seductive and elegant dessert wine from Mosel, one of the world’s most famous Riesling regions. It comes from the legendary Juffer Sonnenuhr vineyard in Brauneberg, where steep slopes and warm slate soil create perfect conditions for wines of great finesse, purity and complexity.

Here you get a classic Auslese, where the grapes are harvested late and carefully selected from the ripest bunches. The result is a wine with the concentrated fruit, natural sweetness and lively acidity that characterize the best Mosel Rieslings.

The famous Juffer Sonnenuhr vineyard is known for its extreme slope and slatey soils, which store the sun’s heat and provide optimal ripening conditions for the grapes. This creates wines with a unique combination of aromatic intensity, mineral freshness and an incredible balance between sweetness and acidity.

The 2018 vintage was an excellent season in Mosel, where warm and stable conditions produced perfectly ripe Riesling grapes with great concentration and aromatic depth. The result is a wine with elegance, energy and great ageing potential.

This Riesling Auslese is ideal with fruit desserts, blue cheeses or as a luxurious glass of wine in its own right, where its aromatic complexity really comes to the fore.
