      The Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 2024 is a rare, highly selected sweet Riesling from one of the Middle Mosel’s most celebrated vineyard sites. It comes from Wehlener Sonnenuhr, a southwest-facing VDP.GROSSE LAGE® situated on exceptionally steep slopes across the Mosel River from the village of Wehlen. The vineyard rises at gradients of approximately 60 to 100 percent, with vines rooted in weathered Devonian slate and a high proportion of exposed rock. Its prolonged sunlight, heat-retaining slate and proximity to the river create conditions that support slow ripening, aromatic development and pronounced mineral expression. Joh. Jos. Prüm’s technical information describes the site as the estate’s most famous vineyard, characterised by deep, weathered grey slate soils, a south-southwest exposure and slopes reaching around 70 percent. 

      The grapes for the 2024 release were harvested by hand and underwent spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts in stainless-steel tanks. Harvest began on 1 October, with warmer conditions later in the month allowing selected grapes to reach Auslese and Goldkapsel ripeness before picking concluded on 31 October. Within the Prüm range, Goldkapsel represents a limited-production selection made from particularly strong, concentrated Auslese fruit and commonly includes a degree of botrytis influence. The wine combines ripe white stone fruit, floral honey and tropical nuances with citrus foliage, orange peel and finely expressed slate minerality. Its generous natural sweetness is balanced by vivid acidity and a firm mineral framework, preserving freshness despite the wine’s considerable concentration. At 7.5% alcohol, it remains remarkably light and poised, with intensity delivered through fruit purity rather than weight. The palate is finely structured and persistent, carrying white peach, citrus zest, floral notes and saline mineral character towards an exceptionally long finish. Its concentration, acidity and tightly woven structure indicate outstanding potential for extended bottle ageing. It is particularly well suited to spicy Asian cuisine, richly flavoured savoury dishes, pâté, fruit-based desserts and mature cheeses.

      Joh Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 2024

      “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.”

      — Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 98 Points

      “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.”

      — Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous, 97 Points

      “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.”

      Joh Jos Prüm

      The Prüm family story in the Mosel dates back to 1156, beginning with was Johann Josef Prüm (1873 - 1944) who founded the estate in 1911. 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? It’s all about their exceptional vineyards: old vines at great sites, keeping the lowest yields, daring but calculated late harvesting, and a careful selection of the finest berries.

      Joh. Jos. Prüm's vineyards are at forefront of the estate's success. Their holdings include vineyards - 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. Depending on the specific vintage, the average annual production of wine is typically between 10,000 to 13,000 cases.
