Amidst the range of Kabinetts that Wei-Kü make in a year, the Sonnenlay is often the most elegant, reminding me a bit of the form of a classic middle Mosel Kabinett. It also happens to be one of Alexandra’s favorite vineyards.
In 2024, the rapier-like acidity and the 40g of RS leads to a Kabinett that tastes nearly dry at this point of its youth. As is often the case, there is a fresh, mountain stream quality here with light angles cutting across the palate as the wine comes in waves.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2023er Wolfer Sonnenlay Riesling Kabinett was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (43 g/l). It offers a quite aromatic and finely ripe nose of yellow fruits, almond cream, William pear, orange blossom, jasmine, and a hint of quince. The wine has a certain richness and fruity feel on the juicy palate, where also Spätlese type of fruits come through. The finish is playful and relatively light, like a true Kabinett, with zesty notes of rhubarb and candied grapefruit. This is well-made, in a direct and nicely attractive style | No 71 June 2024 |
