Coming Soon - 2024 Joh Jos Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese

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 Spätlese offers a complex, immediately saline and stimulating bouquet of bright tropical fruits, delicate and coolish slate and herbal aromas. Full-bodied and intense, with a remarkably fine texture, this is a saline, savory and even mouthwatering Spätlese with substance, structure and length. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 08 25 in March 2026. Drink 2026-2065.

The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is a total tease. Aromatic citrus shimmers on the nose, uniting grapefruit, tangerine and bergamot scents. Citrus foliage adds an extra frisson of freshness. The palate homes in on that line between tartness and the ripe aroma that you find only in the most exquisite citrus fruits. The 2024 has an allure and fusion of impressions that is inextricable and therefore beguiling. It is simply wonderful, fresh, light and so elegant. Drink 2028-2060.

Creamy and dreamy, with white peach, honeysuckle and pomelo aromas plus minty freshness. Really succulent, but every bit as animating on the medium-bodied palate. Then the vibrant acidity wipes up the natural grape sweetness in the finish with great alacrity and creates wonderful tension with the whole basket of fruit flavors. Drink or hold.
