Prüm’s 1999 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Lange Goldkapsel is a distinguished half-bottle from one of the Mosel’s most celebrated vineyard sites. Made from carefully selected, highly ripe grapes, this limited and particularly prestigious long-gold-capsule bottling combines generous fruit, refined sweetness and the lifted acidity that allows great Mosel Riesling to develop beautifully over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine shows a deep golden hue, reflecting both its age and the concentration of the Auslese style. Its expressive bouquet reveals ripe peach, apricot and citrus, with developing honeyed and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is rich and silky, balancing pronounced fruit sweetness with vibrant acidity. A persistent mineral finish brings freshness and definition, while further cellaring may reveal even greater layers of dried fruit, spice and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes originate from the steep, sun-exposed Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard on the Mosel, a site known for its slate soils and its ability to produce Rieslings of remarkable finesse and longevity. For this Auslese, only carefully selected, exceptionally ripe grapes were used and harvested by hand. The wine’s balance is shaped by the interaction between concentrated fruit, residual sweetness and naturally vibrant acidity, allowing it to mature gracefully over many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled at approximately 10–12°C. This elegant sweet Riesling is excellent with fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or aged cheeses; it can also be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or contemplative after-dinner wine. Decanting is not essential, although a brief airing in a small carafe can help open the wine if it initially appears reserved. The 0.375-litre format makes it particularly well suited to serving alongside dessert or cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoh. Jos.
