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.
