Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm in Wehlen ranks among the leading Riesling producers of the Mosel and is inextricably linked with the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, whose steep, blue-grey slate slopes impart structure, minerality, and refined elegance to its wines. The 2024 Spätlese was crafted from exceptionally ripe grapes from this storied site, developing intense fruit and vibrant acidity over the long growing season.

In the glass, the Spätlese gleams a pale golden yellow with greenish reflections. The nose is both generous and refined, shaped by ripe yellow fruit such as peach, apricot, and mirabelle plum, accompanied by delicate citrus notes, white blossoms, and a fine, cool minerality that underscores the classic Sonnenuhr character. With aeration, elegant hints of honey and spice emerge, lending further depth to the aromatics.

On the palate, the Spätlese feels vibrant and poised. Its crisp, chiseled acidity perfectly counterbalances the ripe fruit, delivering tension and clarity. Yellow fruits, citrus, and a subtle mineral nuance merge seamlessly into an elegant, finely structured wine. The texture is velvety and dense, leading into a long, pure finish carried by persistent minerality.

The J.J. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese Versteigerungswein 2024 is an elegant, expressive Riesling that already offers great pleasure today while possessing outstanding aging potential, particularly in the magnum bottle. With further bottle age, the wine will gain depth, complexity, and inner serenity, impressively showcasing the classic Sonnenuhr profile.
