The Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2023 from Joh. Jos. Prüm embodies the radiant elegance and timeless class of a great Mosel Riesling. The nose unfolds with a captivating bouquet of ripe peach, juicy apricot, and candied lemon, accompanied by delicate notes of orange blossom, honey, and a hint of exotic pineapple. The typical slate minerality of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr lends the aroma additional depth and precision. On the palate, the Auslese presents itself with an almost weightless elegance, supported by a masterful balance of opulent fruit sweetness and precise, vibrant acidity. The fruit remains crystal-clear and multifaceted, with hints of mirabelle plum, ripe mango, and a delicate herbal spice. The structure is impressively finesse, while the subtle salty minerality lends the wine incredible length and radiance. The finish is endless, brilliant, and characterized by an invigorating freshness that, despite its intensity, maintains an incredible lightness. A great, long-lasting Riesling that is already fascinating, but will gain complexity and depth with age. A masterpiece from Joh. Jos. Prüm.
