      The Joh. Jos. Prüm Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2024 is a refined, naturally sweet Riesling from the celebrated Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard in Germany’s Mosel region. Produced by one of the Middle Mosel’s most respected estates, it combines ripe Spätlese fruit with remarkable delicacy, freshness and mineral precision. The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr is recognised as a VDP.GROSSE LAGE® vineyard and lies on steep, south-west-facing slopes overlooking the Mosel River. Its exposed slate soils and favourable position help produce Rieslings distinguished by floral aromatics, firm mineral structure and persistent saline character.

      The 2024 release opens with aromas of ripe apricot, peach and cassis, accompanied by dried herbs, subtle smoke and freshly weathered slate. On the palate, generous stone-fruit juiciness is balanced by vibrant acidity and a firm mineral foundation. The natural sweetness associated with the Spätlese classification is present but carefully controlled, allowing the wine to remain sleek, focused and remarkably agile. Notes of Reine Claude plum, apricot and citrus unfold alongside savoury herbs and cool stony nuances. At only 7.5% alcohol, the wine possesses exceptional lightness while retaining considerable flavour intensity and depth. Its fine acidity provides energy and precision, drawing the ripe fruit towards a long and composed finish. Lingering saltiness and slate-driven minerality further enhance its sophisticated and distinctly Mosel character. Although already expressive, the wine has the balance, acidity and mineral structure required to develop gracefully over many years. It is an excellent partner for roast pork, poultry, seafood, aromatic Asian cuisine, pâté, charcuterie and moderately rich cheeses.

      “The 2024 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese offers wet stone and dried herbs on the nose, almost like deadnettle crushed on slate, with the tenderest smokiness. The palate then adds a gorgeous streak of ripe Reine Claude plum with a juiciness that softens the stone. It becomes agile, sinuous and animated. What lovely character, subtlety, elegance and astonishing saltiness this has that seemingly swallows most of the sweetness. Its subtle, stony length is remarkable. ”

      — Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous, 96 Points

      “The apricot aromas make this Spatlese stand out from the pack in the 2024 vintage. But there’s nothing opulent about this wine in spite of the generous juiciness on the medium-bodied palate. In fact, it is sleek, focused and very crisp in the long, complete finish. Drink or hold.”

      — Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com, 95 Points

      “The 2024 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese has a very delicate nose that is characterized by subtle notes of weathered slate and herbs. The wine is light, elegant and subtly spicy, resting on a mineral-rich foundation that fully integrates its fruit and thus makes it appear less fruity. It's an exquisite, very refined and sophisticated Spätlese of remarkable delicacy and with a lingering saltiness.”

      — Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 94 Points

      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.
