The term \"Spätlese\" translates to \"late harvest\" in German, indicating that the grapes are picked later than usual, allowing them to develop more sugar and flavors. Spätlese is one of the Prädikat levels in the German wine classification system. One of the distinguishing features of Spätlese wines is their delightful balance between sweetness and acidity. The extended hang time on the vine allows the grapes to accumulate more natural sugars while still retaining a vibrant acidity. This delicate equilibrium creates a wine that is both lusciously sweet and refreshingly crisp, offering a truly harmonious drinking experience. Spätlese Riesling wines are typically characterized by their sweetness level and balance of acidity. While they are sweet, they also retain a vibrant acidity, creating a harmonious taste experience. These wines often exhibit fruity flavors, such as apple, pear, and peach, along with floral and honey notes. The sweetness of Spätlese Riesling can vary depending on the specific wine. However, they generally have a moderate level of sweetness compared to other German Riesling categories like Auslese or Beerenauslese. With aging, the flavors of Spätlese Riesling can develop further complexity, offering a more nuanced and mature taste profile. This luxurious mouthfeel, combined with their vibrant acidity, contributes to their exceptional aging potential. Over time, these wines continue to develop complexity, offering an evolving bouquet and a more nuanced flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-98942fc5-0 JcSiB\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eThe Joh Jos Prüm Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Spätlese 2021 is a testament to the exceptional winemaking prowess of one of Germany's top producers.

This wine showcases the signature style of Joh Jos Prüm, with its impressive concentration, beautifully integrated fruit sweetness and the perfect balance created by swift acidity and the distinct minerality of slate-driven soils. As with many wines from Prüm, this Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Spätlese is another jewel in their brilliant collection. The steep slope of the vineyard, known for its ungrafted Riesling vines, adds to the wine's excellence.

This late harvest offering boasts a well-structured palate, where exotic aromas of yellow stone fruit, lychee and star fruit captivate the senses. The wine's harmonious character is further accentuated by a concentrated slate flavour, pristine acidity and an invigorating finish. This is undoubtedly a classically exquisite Mosel Spätlese.

The history of the estate can be traced back to the early 20th century when Johann Josef Prüm established his winery. Today, the estate is under the direction of Katharina Prüm, who has continued the family legacy of producing stunning Riesling wines. The vineyards are situated on slopes with steep inclines that allow for optimal sun exposure, and the slate soil provides a unique minerality that is a signature characteristic of Joh Jos Prüm wines. The wines produced by Joh Jos Prüm are known for their balance, complexity and exceptional aging potential. The Kabinett wines are light and elegant, with notes of citrus, apricot and mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-98942fc5-0 JcSiB\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eThe Mosel wine region is situated along the Mosel River in Germany. This region is renowned for producing some of the best Riesling wines in the world. The steep slopes of its vineyards, which rise from the riverbank, provide ideal conditions for grape cultivation. The unique terroir of the region, which consists of a combination of climate, soil, and vineyard sites, produces wines with a distinct flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-98942fc5-0 JcSiB\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eJoh. Jos. Prüm's vineyards are a hallmark of the estate's success. The winery maintains a total of 14 hectares of holdings in several vineyards, including Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, Bernkasteler Lay, Bernkasteler Badstube and Zeltinger Sonnenuhr. All of these sites are exclusively dedicated to growing and harvesting Riesling grapes for Joh. Jos. Prüm. Of these sites, Wehlener Sonnenuhr and Graacher Himmelreich are the most essential for the winery, both in terms of quantity and quality. Seventy percent of the vines across these vineyards are ungrafted, indicating that the winery holds true to traditional winemaking practices. Depending on the specific vintage, the average annual production of wine is typically between 10,000 to 13,000 cases. Prüm's vineyards are dedicated solely to Riesling production, with the Wehlener Sonnenuhr and Graacher Himmelreich vineyards being the most important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiesling Auslese is a type of sweet white wine that is crafted from late-harvested Riesling grapes. The grapes are hand-picked and left to mature on the vine, which results in a high concentration of natural sugars. This process produces a wine that is known for its rich, honeyed sweetness and intense flavors of apricot, peach and citrus. The level of sweetness can vary depending on the winemaker's preference, but typically, Riesling Auslese is sweeter than other Riesling wines. The German word \"Auslese\" translates to \"selection,\" indicating that only the best grapes are chosen for making Riesling Auslese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Joh Jos Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Museum Release 2011 presents a dessert-style wine that is both lush and balanced. On the nose, it delivers a delightful blend of peach, floral and orchard fruit notes, with a touch of light honey adding to its complexity. The palate reveals excellent depth and concentration, with peach and a variety of white and gold orchard fruit providing upfront sweetness and complexity. As the wine develops, it gains more expressive and open tropical fruit notes, which are balanced by a tart and vibrant acidity towards the back. The brilliant deep gold colour of the wine, along with its honey, clover, peach and varied orchard fruit aromas, make for an extraordinary nose that just keeps evolving over time. The wine's complexity is spectacular, with a delicious interplay of rich stone fruit flavors, balanced acidity and delicate spice. The wine finishes with honey, bursting acidity and stony notes, providing a remarkable and uplifting experience that is both special and memorable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSo lusciously ripe, with notes of mango and guava, this is an explosion of sweet fruit, honey and flowers.

The revered site lies opposite the village of Wehlen and the Estate owns seven hectares - largely planted to ungrafted wines - which has very thin topsoil over Devonian slate (in some areas of the vineyard the plants grow out of pure rock!). Wehlener Sonnenuhr has the highest pure stone content of all the Prüm vineyards, and along with neighbouring Zeltinger, the steepest of Prüm’s vineyards - with a dizzying 65-70% gradient in places. Wine writer Stuart Pigott summarises perfectly, “In top vintages the Wehlener Sonnenuhr yields the richest, silkiest, most seductive wines on the Mosel.

It offers perfect growing conditions for the Riesling grape with its deep, weather-beaten grey slate soil, good water support, extreme steepness of up to 70% gradient, and its optimal south-south-west exposure. A fun fact - The two sites Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, Wehlener Sonnenuhr are named after the sundial erected in the vineyard in 1842 by Jodocus Prüm, an ancestor of J.J. Prüm, to give the workers a better time orientation. The wines of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr generally possess excellent structure, show beautiful, ripe aromas and flavours (typically stone fruits, like peach, nectarine, apricot), a fine minerality and great depth and length.

The revered site lies opposite the village of Wehlen and the Estate owns seven hectares - largely planted to ungrafted wines - which has very thin topsoil over Devonian slate (in some areas of the vineyard the plants grow out of pure rock!). Wehlener Sonnenuhr has the highest pure stone content of all the Prüm vineyards, and along with neighbouring Zeltinger, the steepest of Prüm’s vineyards - with a dizzying 65-70% gradient in places. Wine writer Stuart Pigott summarises perfectly, “In top vintages the Wehlener Sonnenuhr yields the richest, silkiest, most seductive wines on the Mosel.

The Bernkasteler Badstube slopes are on a marginally shallower gradient, with deeper soils than the more established Graacher and Wehlener, while the western orientation allows the vines longer exposure to the afternoon sun. Kabinett Riesling has a sweetness level that can range from dry to off-dry and can exhibit flavours and aromas of citrus, stone fruit, floral and mineral notes.

Depending on the specific vintage, the average annual production of wine is typically between 10,000 to 13,000 cases. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-2c61eda7-2 dNieel\"\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-2c61eda7-2 dNieel\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-2c61eda7-2 dNieel\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-2c61eda7-2 dNieel\"\u003ePrüm has somehow made a tiny amount of Goldkapsel this year.

Harvesting continued until the last days of October, but Prüm finally got there, and the wines are jaw-droppingly good.

These are subtle differences, but make for wonderfully distinctive wines. Of course all the vineyards of J.J. Prüm are renowned, but the majestic Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard that is the most famous. The revered site lies opposite the village of Wehlen and the Estate owns seven hectares - largely planted to ungrafted wines - which has very thin topsoil over Devonian slate (in some areas of the vineyard the plants grow out of pure rock!). Wehlener Sonnenuhr has the highest pure stone content of all the Prüm vineyards, and along with neighbouring Zeltinger, the steepest of Prüm’s vineyards - with a dizzying 65-70% gradient in places. Wine writer Stuart Pigott summarises perfectly, “In top vintages the Wehlener Sonnenuhr yields the richest, silkiest, most seductive wines on the Mosel.

By the mid-1930s Johann Josef’s son, Sebastian, forged the distinctive style of the Prüm wines. From 1969, the imitable Dr Manfred Prüm would elevate Joh. Jos. Prüm to even greater heights, today the estate is run by Manfred’s daughter Katharina Prüm who watches over 13.5 hectares of vines on the harrowing slate-rich slopes of the Middle Mosel. In The Wines of Germany, Stephen Brook writes “With the rise of so many excellent winemakers in the Mosel, one might have supposed that Joh. Jos. Prüm, with its profound conservatism, might have been overtaken and left behind. Not a bit of it. The Estate remains where it has been for decades: at the summit.” Which begs the question, what is the secret to J.J. Prüm's continued success? How do they stand out among top Mosel producers?

The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard is now synonymous to the name of Joh. Jos. Prüm. The Estate owns healthy five hectares of this majestic site. It offers perfect growing conditions for the Riesling grape with its deep, weather-beaten grey slate soil, good water support, extreme steepness of up to 70 % gradient, and its optimal south-south-west exposure. A fun fact - The two sites Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, Wehlener Sonnenuhr are named after the sundial erected in the vineyard in 1842 by Jodocus Prüm, an ancestor of J.J. Prüm, to give the workers a better time orientation. The wines of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr generally possess excellent structure, show beautiful, ripe aromas and flavours (typically stone fruits, like peach, nectarine, apricot), a fine minerality and great depth and length.

Wehlener Sonnenuhr has the highest pure stone content of all the Prüm vineyards, and along with neighbouring Zeltinger, the steepest of Prüm’s vineyards—with a dizzying 65-70% gradient in places. Wine writer Stuart Pigott summarises perfectly, “In top vintages the Wehlener Sonnenuhr yields the richest, silkiest, most seductive wines on the Mosel. The fame of these Rieslings is inextricably linked with that of the Joh Jos Prüm estate.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1330\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1230\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1238\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1241\"\u003e– Delicate and lifted\u003cbr data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1265\"\u003eHoneysuckle, white peach, and lemon with a slatey undercurrent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1439\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1342\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1342\" data-end=\"1345\"\u003e– Sleek and refined\u003cbr data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1367\"\u003eSilky stone fruit, zesty citrus, and salty minerality in perfect sync.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1536\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1451\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1451\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003e– Elegant length\u003cbr data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1473\"\u003eLong, cool-toned and stony with pristine structure and poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1946\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1561\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1564\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1869\"\u003e“Super elegant and super filigreed, with ravishing aromas of honeysuckle, white peaches and Asian pears.

Prüm to even greater heights, today the estate is run by Manfred’s daughter Katharina Prüm who watches over 13.5 hectares of vines on the harrowing slate-rich slopes of the Middle Mosel. In The Wines of Germany, Stephen Brook writes “With the rise of so many excellent winemakers in the Mosel, one might have supposed that Joh. Jos. Prüm, with its profound conservatism, might have been overtaken and left behind. Not a bit of it. The Estate remains where it has been for decades: at the summit.” Which begs the question, what is the secret to J.J. Prüm's continued success? How do they stand out among top Mosel producers?
