Parker about Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2015
The 2015 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese has a clear and discreet, but very deep and elegant fruit aroma that indicates a cool smokiness of crushed stones. This Riesling is very clear, piquant and elegant on the palate, with a gorgeously lush fruit and lingering salinity and mineral grip. This is an excellent, well-concentrated and expressive terroir Riesling from the other Sonnenuhr. Now the Wehlener needs all its charms, because otherwise the Zeltinger is Prüm's Spätlese king in 2015.
Suckling over Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2015
Quite closed on the nose (some orange peel) and tightly wound on the palate. The racy acidity is an ideal counterpoint to the ripeness. Rather long, cool finish (with a hint of mint). A long term wine that will be better from 2019.

Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2015
The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2015 from Joh. Jos. Prüm is a captivating journey through the steep slate vineyards of the Mosel, magnificently represented by this benchmark vintage.
In the glass, the wine displays a vibrant golden hue that points to the ripeness of the grapes and the classic Spätlese style. The bouquet is a fragrant garden of aromas led by ripe peaches, juicy apricots, and delicate citrus notes, while a subtle slate minerality and floral nuances contribute to the depth and complexity of this Riesling.
On the palate, the true greatness of this wine is revealed. The Spätlese presents an exquisite balance between vibrant acidity and finely judged residual sweetness. The flavour profile is shaped by tropical fruits, blossom honey, and a hint of spice. Silky and weightless in mouthfeel, it culminates in a long, deeply rewarding finish.
More than just a wine, this Spätlese is a love letter to the terroir of the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr. Harvested by hand and vinified according to the time-honoured methods of Joh. Jos. Prüm, it captures the unmistakable magic of the Mosel in every sip.
