Parker about Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2018
The 2018 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese is very clear and elegant on the nose, with beautifully discreet but precise aromas of tropical fruits and notes of fine, weathered slate. Round and textured as well as crystalline and fine on the palate, this is a highly elegant and balanced selection with a stimulatinglh salty-piquant and grippy finish. A fabulous selection to be served with food yet main courses rather than desserts. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
