Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2022

The Wehlener Sonnenuhr - or "Sundial of Wehlen" - is arguably one of the most famous vineyards in the world. Rising steeply above the Mosel river, its deep blue slate soils produce wines of incredible finesse. In the hands of the legendary Joh. Jos. Prüm estate, this specific terroir yields Riesling that is famously elegant, highly floral, and remarkably refined. As a 'Spätlese', the grapes for this 2022 vintage were left on the vine late into the autumn to build natural sweetness and intense concentration. In the glass, it is a masterclass in delicacy. It opens with beautiful, lifted aromas of white blossom, vanilla, and ripe white peach. On the palate, there is a luxurious, honeyed sweetness, but it is immediately electrified by a brilliant, racing acidity. This tension is the hallmark of great German wine - it cuts straight through the richness and leaves the finish feeling completely weightless, crisp, and mouth-watering. This is a phenomenal bottle to pair with food. Its natural sweetness and vibrant energy make it a perfect match for spicy Asian cuisine, rich pâté, or a sharply salty blue cheese. While it is undeniably stunning to drink right now, Prüm's Wehlener Sonnenuhr is famous for its incredible lifespan. Tuck a bottle away for a decade or two, and it will reward you with extraordinary depth and complexity.
