Joh Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 1.5L MAGNUM 2021

Joh Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese in magnum is a naturally sweet Riesling from one of the steep blue-slate sites of the middle Mosel.

Wehlener Sonnenuhr, the sundial vineyard directly opposite the village of Wehlen, is the estate’s home site: precipitous, south-facing and rooted in weathered blue Devonian slate that gives wines of great delicacy and cut. Joh. Jos. Prüm at Wehlen, now led by Katharina Prüm, treats Spätlese as its most versatile category: light in body but intense in flavour, with more flesh and power than the Kabinett wines without necessarily more overt sweetness. Picking is by hand in tries, fermentation is slow and spontaneous, and the wines rest long on their lees in traditional Fuder before release, arriving with the faint spritz that is a house signature and a marker of their capacity to age. The balance sought is between elegance, freshness, racy fruit and the slate-driven minerality particular to this stretch of the middle Mosel.

Already thrilling but built to gain depth for decades, the magnum evolving more slowly again; serve at 8–10°C with roast pork, smoked eel or a Sichuan-spiced dish.
