Riesling Joh. Jos. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese 2021

The wine

This Riesling is surprisingly light (8% alcohol) but its fruity, apple and pear notes persist on the palate once it has been swallowed. Because it is fermented with indigenous yeasts, this top German Riesling is all the more authentic.

About the Producer Joh. Jos. Prum

The Joh. Jos. Prüm domaine, along with Egon Müller, is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after German domaines. It is located in the Middle Moselle Valley, one of the most northerly wine-producing regions in the world. The vines can sometimes keep their leaves right through to December and the cool climate gives the Riesling fruity and floral aromas and high levels of acidity. Joh. Jos. Prüm belongs to the VDP - Die Prädikatweingüter, a prestigious association of Germany’s finest wine producers. His Rieslings are equally magnificent in their dry forms – Kabinett trocken, Kabinett – and sweet strong iterations (Auslese, Spätlese, and Trockenbeerenauslese). Each cuvée preserves the outstanding freshness which is typical of the Mosel-Saar region.
