The 1971 Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese is a legendary Mosel Riesling from what is universally revered as one of the greatest German vintages of the 20th century.

In the glass, this historic 1971 Auslese gleams a deep burnished gold with amber highlights, reflecting more than half a century of graceful maturation.

The bouquet is spellbinding and deeply evocative: dried apricot, confit peach, candied orange peel, and wildflower honey intertwine with saffron, roasted almond, cool slate minerality, and classic mature Mosel patina.

On the palate, the 1971 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese demonstrates why Joh. Jos. Prüm’s wines are considered virtually immortal. Delicate, mellowed sweetness is held in weightless suspension by vibrant, crystalline 1971 acidity, gliding across the palate into a finish of extraordinary length, saline depth, and harmony.

A true collector’s museum piece from the steep Devonian blue-slate slopes of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, this 1971 Auslese turns any occasion into an unforgettable tasting memory.
