94 points, “Ripe pear, mirabelle and lychee are garlanded with heliotrope and lily. The delicate but glossy palate introduces overripe Persian melon to accompany the already effusive fruit and decadent liquid perfume on the nose. Seed piquancy and a kiss of wet stone lend welcome counterpoint to the lusciously lingering finish.” – Vinous
94 points, “For a bottling that usually requires years to show its colours, this surprisingly open, lavishly perfumed Spätlese wafts of pristine white peach and blossom. It’s delightfully honeyed yet invigorating, balancing layers of apricot and yellow cherry flavours against crushed slate and dazzling acidity. While tempting in youth, it should improve through 2035.” – Wine Enthusiast.
With its proud sundial and epic location, Wehlener Sonnenuhr is a jewel in the Mosel’s crown. The Prüm family will always be tied to these vines, because Jodicus Prüm built the sundial to allow the workers and locals to better know the time. Joh. Jos Prüm, also known simply as JJ Prüm, own a small portion of the five hectares of old vines on this plot, so the wine is understandably scarce. The additional ripeness of the Spätlese (meaning ‘late harvest’) 2018 makes it feel like the Kabinett with the volume cranked up. More of that soft orchard fruit, more honey, more salty slate, more mineral tension, more opulence, more gravitas and more pleasure. If you want a wine that gives you more, look no further. This epic and vegan-friendly wine balances the sweetness perfectly with crisp acidity, making it extremely versatile for food matching. Consider pairing with creamy Vietnamese curry, rich rendang, tacos topped with mango salsa, roast pork with apple sauce, gravadlax in mustard sauce, greengage crumble or apple sorbet.
Founded in 1911, JJ Prüm is arguably one of the most iconic German producers. The estate stretches for 33.5 hectares alongside the Mosel Valley and they’re renowned for their pure and exceptionally long-lived expression of Riesling.
