Sensory Description:
Opening with a glint of wet slate and lime blossom, this Riesling delivers a filigreed bouquet that evolves with air, white peach, honeysuckle, and alpine herbs swirl delicately in the glass. On the palate, it’s all tension and grace: zesty lime and succulent stone fruit unfurl over laser-focused acidity, while a shimmer of minerality pulses through the core. The sweetness is finely tuned, never indulgent, always lifted. It closes on a long, crystalline finish that echoes its origins in one of Mosel’s most storied vineyards.

Winemaker's Background:
Weingut Unterlind is the shared vision of Heiner Bollig and Veronika Bollig-Lintner, who founded the estate in 2020 with just 1.8 hectares of top-tier Mosel slopes. Heiner brings over a decade of winemaking experience from the legendary Egon Müller-Scharzhof, where he rose to cellarmaster. Veronika, originally from Tyrol, built her career in hospitality and wine sales, also working with Müller before turning her talents to the vineyard. Together, they combine technical precision with aesthetic purity, capturing the Mosel’s magic in every handcrafted bottle.
Serving Suggestions:
Best served chilled at 45–50°F. This Spätlese sings with Thai green curry, duck glazed in orange, or pork dishes with stone fruit accents. Its racy acidity and layered sweetness also make it a stellar companion to aged cheese or fruit-forward desserts like apple strudel and peach tart. Built to reward cellaring, it promises deeper nuance and expression for 10+ years.
This 2023 Weingut Unterlind Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese, Mosel, Germany is more than a beautiful Mosel wine, it’s a meditation on purity, patience, and place. From its minimalist bottle to its mineral-charged core, it invites you to pause, listen, and taste a story told in whispering slopes and centuries-old stone. Whether enjoyed now or aged to reveal new layers, it’s a bottle that rewards those who appreciate the quiet confidence of exceptional craftsmanship.
