Description: The wines of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr possess an excellent structure, show beautiful, ripe aromas and flavors (typically stone fruits, like peach), a fine minerality and great depth and length. Especially after having been aged for some years, their harmony, finesse and expression is unique. This Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese is a very classical Mosel Riesling Auslese, a fine yet racy wine, combining elegance and complexity and showing a beautiful balance between fruit aromas and flavors, a crisp acidity and fine minerality. Although this wine is very appealing now already, it will improve a lot with aging in the years to come and be enjoyable for decades. Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm was founded in 1911 by Johann Josef Prüm . Today it is owned and managed by Dr. Manfred Prüm and his daughter Dr. Katharina Prüm.

Their Rieslings are renowned for their aging potential and are sought after by collectors. International Winery of the Year 2009 and 2010, Wine & Spirits Magazine.

Tasting notes: Pale golden yellow. Heady aromas of strawberry and nut oil, with a gentle hint of smoky botrytis. White peach fruit essences and mineral salts animate the creamily rich yet delicate palate. More concentrated than the other ausleses at this address, in more of a BA style. But with its strong acidity, this impressive wine will mature into a great auslese.

Pairing: Pairs very well deserts or anything sweet

Magnum: 1500ml
