Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm in Wehlen ranks among the preeminent Riesling producers of the Mosel and is intimately tied to the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, whose steep blue-gray Devonian slate slopes endow its wines with structure, minerality, and filigree elegance. The 2024 Auction Spätlese was crafted from selectively harvested, golden-ripe grapes that developed intense fruit concentration alongside vibrant acidity over a long growing season.

In the glass, the Spätlese gleams a bright golden yellow with green reflections. On the nose, it is at once rich and finely chiseled, shaped by ripe yellow stone fruits such as peach, apricot, and mirabelle plum, accompanied by delicate citrus notes, white blossoms, and a cool slate minerality that highlights the classic Sonnenuhr character. With aeration, refined hints of blossom honey and subtle spice emerge, deepening the aromatic profile.

On the palate, the Spätlese is vibrant and impeccably balanced. Crisp, chiseled acidity counterbalances the luscious, ripe fruit to perfection, creating electric tension and clarity. Yellow fruits, citrus, and a stony mineral vein merge harmoniously across a velvety, dense, yet weightless texture, culminating in a long, crystalline finish carried by enduring slate minerality.

The J.J. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese Versteigerungswein 2024 is an aristocratic, expressive Auction Riesling that offers enchanting pleasure today while possessing decades of cellaring potential, gaining ever greater depth, complexity, and inner serenity with bottle age.
