The Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2023 from Joh. Jos. Prüm embodies the quintessence of a great Mosel Spätlese Riesling with incomparable elegance and depth. The nose unfolds with a captivating interplay of aromas of ripe white peach, juicy apricot, candied lemon, and delicate floral notes, interwoven with the typical smoky, saline slate minerality of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. On the palate, the Spätlese reveals a perfect balance between twirling sweetness and racy acidity, lending it an impressive freshness and lightness. The fruit remains clear and brilliant with hints of mirabelle plum, honeydew melon, and a touch of herbal spice, while the delicate structure and fine minerality provide additional depth. The long, precise finish, carried by saline freshness, leaves a virtually weightless elegance. A classic, timeless Prüm wine with enormous aging potential, which already impresses with its youthful radiance and will gain in finesse and complexity over the decades.
