The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2023 from Joh. Jos. Prüm radiates a brilliant light gold with youthful reflections, revealing its exceptional depth and elegance even on the nose. The bouquet combines juicy aromas of ripe peach, yellow pear, and candied lemon with delicate hints of blossom honey, orange blossom, and a subtle spiciness underscored by the unique slate minerality of the Zeltinger terroir. On the palate, the wine reveals a beguiling balance of silky sweetness and precise, lively acidity, lending it an almost weightless elegance. The fruit is brilliant and multifaceted, with nuances of exotic pineapple, juicy mirabelle plum, and a delicate herbal note. The mineral character provides additional structure and fascinating depth. The finish is long, complex, and carried by a saline freshness that creates a magnificent arc of tension. An impressive, high-class Mosel Auslese Riesling with enormous aging potential, which is already exciting in its youth but will gain in complexity and finesse over the decades.
