Joh. Jos. Prüm - Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Lange Goldkapsel 1990 - 0,75 l

Joh. Jos. Prüm’s 1990 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Lange Goldkapsel is a rare and highly collectible Mosel Riesling from one of Germany’s most celebrated vineyard sites. The long gold capsule signifies an especially refined selection, while more than three decades of bottle age have allowed this sweet wine to develop remarkable depth, complexity and poise.

Tasting Notes
Brilliant golden in colour, with the deeper hue expected from a mature Riesling of this age. The nose is richly expressive, revealing ripe peach, apricot and citrus alongside honeyed notes and the nuanced, developed aromas that come with extended bottle maturation. On the palate, generous sweetness is balanced by vibrant Mosel acidity, creating a wine that feels concentrated yet lifted rather than heavy. The finish is long and layered, with lingering stone-fruit and citrus character. At over 30 years old, this bottle is already in a mature drinking window, although its balance and sweetness may allow it to develop further when carefully stored.

Production
The wine comes from the steep Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, whose slate-rich Mosel terroir is known for producing Rieslings with aromatic intensity, elegance and excellent ageing potential. Auslese wines are made from particularly ripe, selectively harvested grapes, and the Lange Goldkapsel designation marks an especially distinguished bottling within the estate’s range. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this vintage are not provided, but the wine’s balance reflects the classic combination of concentrated fruit, residual sweetness and fresh acidity associated with premium Mosel Riesling.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 9–11°C, allowing the mature aromas to open in the glass. It is an excellent match for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, apple tart and other refined pastries, while its sweetness and acidity also complement blue cheese, mature washed-rind cheeses and gently spiced Asian cuisine. Decanting is not essential, but carefully opening the bottle and giving it time in the glass can help reveal its full complexity; older bottles should be handled gently because of possible sediment.

Producer
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the most respected names in the Mosel, celebrated for elegant, long-lived Rieslings from steep slate vineyards.

This 1990 Auslese Lange Goldkapsel represents the estate’s tradition of producing exceptionally concentrated, age-worthy sweet Rieslings and will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts of mature German wine.
