Die Rieslingreben des "Vom DEVON" wachsen auf einem ausgesprochen weichen, blauen Devon-Verwitterungsschieferboden, der dem Wein besonders viele Mineralien verleiht. Das zeichnet ihn mit Finesse und Eleganz aus.
90/100 – Mosel Fine Wines: "The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese Feinherb 56° Alte Reben is an off-dry wine (with 31 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit picked on vines planted on very steep slopes (hence the name 56°). A light reduction from sulfur gives quickly way to fresh scents of lime, grapefruit, minty herbs, dill, thyme, flint stone, and clove. The wine shows superb freshness on the playful palate, where an initial fruity side led by yellow peach is wrapped into zest and tension, which give a chiseled and racy feel to the very long finish. The after-taste is already dry in taste, quite focused, and smoky. This fresh and comparatively lean dry-tasting Riesling is impressive."
92/100 – Mosel Fine Wines: "The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese Feinherb 56° Alte Reben is an off-dry wine (with 30 g/l of residual sugar) made from vines planted on very steep slopes. The wine provides a superbly pure, zesty, and complex floral and zesty nose driven by scents of yellow flowers, lime tree, tangerine, herbs, spices, and mint come through. The wine proves superbly balanced on the palate, where the primary fruity side (yellow peach, lemon, apple) is wrapped into zesty and playful acidity. While its mid-palate is still on the sweet side at this early stage, the wine leaves a superbly focused and elegant in the very long finish. This great off-dry Riesling will only start to fully deliver in a few years’ time. 2026-2040"
"Konzentriert und animierend saftig, dabei an Holunderblütensirup erinnernd und schließlich in einem prägnanten Finale den Höhepunkt erreichend." Gault&Millau Weinguide 2021
