Coming Soon - 2024 Joh Jos Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel

The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard has become intrinsically tied to the name of Joh. Jos. Prum. The estate owns seven hectares of this majestic site, which is largely planted with ungrafted vines and features very thin topsoil over Devonian slate (in some areas, the plants grow directly out of pure rock). Wehlener Sonnenuhr has the highest pure stone content of all the Prum vineyards and, along with neighbouring Zeltingen, is the steepest, boasting a dizzying 65 to 70 percent gradient. The forest resting above the vineyard also acts as a natural water regulator for the slope.

Other Reviews...
The 2024 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (Gold Capsule) offers a clear, deep and concentrated, remarkably complex and saline nose with intense fruit and even floral aromas. Light yet intense and with a certain phenolic grip, this is a tightly meshed, age-worthy and sustainably structured Riesling that will surely benefit from further bottle aging. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 15 25 in March 2026. Drink 2031-2080.

The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Goldkapsel is alive with citrus foliage, zest and the sweetest fruit aromas. Its tanginess tingles on the nose and continues right on the palate. Vivid freshness and poise define pale white peach flesh on the palate, tempered by a gorgeous, tangy orange peel note that attains a subtle edge of candy. The 2024 is superbly fine, stony, linear and, of course, delicious. It is so poised and clean. Drink 2030-2065.

This smells like an entire florist’s store, but there’s nothing overpowering about it at all. Very concentrated and complete, with fantastic floral honey richness and great underlying freshness, this is a very great Mosel Auslese. Still only medium-bodied in spite of the generous unfermented grape sweetness, and so incredibly clean and pure in the super-long finish. Drink or hold.
