J.J Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese 2022

J.J. Prüm’s Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is a classic Mosel Riesling that balances delicacy with impressive depth. Coming from one of Germany’s most celebrated vineyard sites, it combines precision, slate-driven minerality, and a cool, racy style that has made the Prüm name a benchmark for refined Riesling.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a pale, luminous color that hints at its lightness and purity. The nose is flinty and subtly reductive at first, opening to vivid lemon fruit, cool herbal nuances, and a distinct slate-like edge. The palate is crystalline and highly detailed, with intense citrus clarity, saline freshness, and a textured, mouthfilling structure that gives the wine real substance despite its light frame. The finish is long, precise, and mineral, with the phenolic grip still present in youth; this is a Spätlese that should gain further harmony with bottle age and a little air.

Production
This wine comes from the iconic Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard in the Mosel, a site known for steep slopes, blue slate soils, and a cool climate that encourages slow ripening and remarkable aromatic finesse. The grapes are typically harvested by hand, often in multiple passes, to ensure optimal ripeness for this Spätlese level. Vinification at J.J. Prüm is traditionally careful and restrained, with a focus on preserving freshness, purity, and site expression through gentle cellar work and patient fermentation.

Food & Serving
This Spätlese is a beautiful match for spicy Asian cuisine, lightly sweet-and-sour dishes, roast poultry with fruit accents, or refined seafood preparations such as scallops and crab. Serve chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and consider giving it a short period of aeration if opening young; decanting is not essential, but a little air can help soften its youthful phenolic edge.

Producer
J.J. Prüm is one of the most revered estates in the Mosel and a reference point for classic German Riesling. Founded in the early 20th century and still celebrated for its distinctive house style, the estate is especially known for wines from top vineyard sites such as Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Its long-standing reputation rests on precision, longevity, and some of the most expressive Rieslings produced in Germany.
