The soul of the Mosel, bottled with grace and gravity. The 2023 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is a masterclass in Mosel elegance—an iconic vineyard translated through the lens of a perfectly pitched vintage. This steep, stony site—with its dizzying 70% gradient, grey slate soils, and pinpoint south-southwest exposure—produces wines that are as timeless as they are thrilling. Here, the Prüm family shows exactly why this vineyard has become synonymous with German Riesling at its highest level.

Expect white peach, lemon blossom, and flint on the nose, followed by a palate that floats and grips all at once—filigreed sweetness, shimmering acidity, and deep minerality in perfect tension. It's not loud; it's quietly commanding, a Spätlese of understated richness and remarkable finesse. Though already harmonious, this wine is built to reward decades of patience in the cellar.
