Wegeler Riesling tasting (Munskänkarna)

Tasting led by Dr. Tom Drieseberg from Wegeler.

• 2007 Wegeler Riesling Sekt Brut Geheimrat "J" 86 Points

  Germany, Rheingau

  Bright yellow with a discrete mousse. Nose of ripe yellow fruit, some notes of tropical fruit, slightly smokey and perfumed. Dry on the palate, clean fruitiness, high acidity, slightly smokey hints and grapefruit notes in the aftertaste. Fresh in its style, definitely a good Riesling Sekt.

• 2009 Wegeler Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese trocken 83 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Light to medium yellow colour. Perfumed nose with elderflower, some yellow apple and citrus. Fruity taste with “mixed fruits”, rather dry, rather high acidity. Overall a fruity impression, comes across as slightly simple for its origin & classification.

  Golden yellow colour. In the nose obvious petrol notes, some smoke, yellow apple, discrete honey notes. Rather dry on the palate, yellow fruit, honey, good acidity, not too concentrated but elegant. Quite developed but fresh, can be cellared more.

  Medium to golden yellow. Nose with ripe yellow fruit, some flowery notes, melon, a hint of honey, and hints of developed notes. On the palate off-dry+ in sweetness, ripe fruit with peach, good (balancing) acidity, good fruit concentration. A good Spätlese with some development.

• 2002 Wegeler Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese 89 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Bright yellow colour, a faint green tinge. In the nose peach, ripe fruit, some perfume notes, some mineral and smoke. A bit more elegant nose than the previous wine. Semi-sweet on the palate, quite good concentration, ripe peach, balancing acidity. To me very much an Auslese style, young but somewhat development. 89+ p, and potential for more.

• 2010 Wegeler Geisenheimer Rothenberg Riesling Auslese 91 Points

  Germany, Rheingau

  Light yellow colour. Nose with perfume notes, a slightly odd but pleasant nutty note that made me think of hazelnut creme (possibly some filling in wafers), mineral. Sweet on the palate, very concentrated, peach and citrus, high acidity. Fresh style, young. 91+ p.

• 2006 Wegeler Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese 92 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Rich golden colour. In the nose dried apricots, strong botrytis notes, orange peel, some perfume, spice. Very sweet on the palate (corresponding to Beerenauselse+/Trockenbeerenauslese), dried apricot, quite spicy, balancing acidity but not exactly high for a Mosel Riesling, rather fresh, fruity aftertaste. Can be cellared for a long time, but rather ready now.
  This wine shows good concentration and balance, but not quite the elegance and lightness I expect from a Beerenauslese typical of Mosel. This wine shows more general noble rot style than obvious Riesling character. This doesn’t make the wine at all bad, but somewhat untypical for its label.
