Riesling Joh. Jos. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese 2006

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.

This cuvée has subtle citrus fruit aromas (lemon zest, grapefruit) with a hint of damp stone. The palate is nicely balanced and fruity, with a pleasant texture. The wine can be drunk young or kept in the cellar for a number of years. It makes a superb pairing with sweet and sour or delicately spiced dishes.
