Our #1 German. $29.99. 3 Days Only
 

I reckon we have enough exposed form with this wine over the past 15-20 years to proclaim the Loosen's Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr our favourite German Riesling. Every year we're instantly taken by its softness, purity, clarity and at around 8% alcohol its 'smashability'. We know it will age, but seriously, why would you wait?

So imagine our excitement when we finally land the new release WS from the all-conquering 2019 vintage. If you're unaware of the hype, here are the impressions of Stuart Pigott, the German Correspondent and Contributing Editor for James Suckling:

The 2019 vintage is the best vintage I have ever tasted for German riesling in my four-decade career. Like James, my career as a wine critic began in the early 1980s.

Then Stuart's review on our feature wine followed by that of Stephan Reinhardt in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (these two gentlemen are among the finest palates of this genre, globally):

Elegant and playful with plenty of white fruit, then stunning freshness at the very crisp, lemony finish. Drink or hold. Rating: 92 Points; Stuart Pigott in James Suckling

Fresh and reductive on the attractively clear and aromatic nose with white stone fruit aromas. On the palate, this is a sharp, precise and juicy Sonnenuhr with remarkable finesse and crunchy slate aromas. Lingering salinity and piquancy. Rating: 91 Points; Stephan Reinhardt in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outstanding vintage of a very popular wine? Tick. A three-day-only price of $29.99? Tick. Don't miss out on this wonderful Mosel. A perfect summer wine that can take a chill and sing even louder with your favourite Thai.
