Joh Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2024

Product Description:
The Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2024 is a beautifully refined, naturally sweet Riesling from one of the Mosel’s most celebrated vineyard sites. Produced by the historic Joh. Jos. Prüm estate, it combines the ripe fruit concentration of the Spätlese classification with exceptional freshness, delicacy and mineral precision. The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard is recognised as a VDP.GROSSE LAGE® and occupies a dramatically steep position across the Mosel River from the village of Wehlen. Its southwest-facing slopes rise at gradients of approximately 60 to 100 percent, providing the vines with prolonged sunlight and favourable ripening conditions. The vineyard’s pure, weathered Devonian slate soils retain and radiate warmth while contributing the distinctive saline and stony character associated with its finest Rieslings.

The 2024 vintage opens with an expressive spectrum of grapefruit, tangerine, bergamot, white peach, honeysuckle and pomelo. Delicate herbal, mint and cool slate nuances add complexity and freshness to the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is succulent and finely textured, with ripe citrus and stone-fruit flavours supported by vibrant acidity and pronounced mineral tension. Its natural grape sweetness is seamlessly balanced, allowing the wine to feel animated, elegant and remarkably light rather than heavy. Bright tropical fruit, saline minerality and savoury herbal notes gradually emerge as the wine develops in the glass. At 8% alcohol, it possesses graceful lightness while retaining considerable substance, concentration and length. The finish is long, mouth-watering and slate-driven, with lingering citrus peel, mint and saline freshness. Although already compelling, its acidity and mineral structure indicate excellent potential for graceful development over several decades. It is an excellent companion to spicy Asian cuisine, seafood, roast pork, poultry, pâté and aromatic cheeses.

Reviews & Accolades
“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. ” — Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous, 96 Points

“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.” — Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com, 95 Points

“The 2024 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese offers a complex, immediately saline and stimulating bouquet of bright tropical fruits, delicate and coolish slate and herbal aromas.
