Joh. Jos. Prüm - Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling feine Auslese Goldkapsel 1964 - 0,7 l

A remarkable piece of Mosel wine history, the Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling feine Auslese Goldkapsel 1964 comes from one of Germany’s most celebrated vineyard sites. Bottled in the classic 0.7-litre format, this rare Riesling combines the elegance of the Sonnenuhr vineyard with the depth and complexity that only decades of bottle age can bring.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a luminous golden hue, with the intensity of its colour depending on storage and provenance. Its mature bouquet reveals layers of ripe peach, apricot and citrus, complemented by subtle developed notes typical of a well-aged Riesling. On the palate, generous sweetness is balanced by refreshing acidity, giving the wine both richness and poise. A long, elegant finish carries mineral nuances and lingering fruit. As a 1964 vintage, it is already fully mature and best appreciated for its complexity; further ageing potential will depend greatly on bottle condition, fill level and storage history.

Production
The grapes originate from the steep, slate-influenced Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard on the Mosel, a site renowned for producing finely structured Rieslings with pronounced mineral character. This feine Auslese was made from carefully selected, naturally concentrated grapes, with the Goldkapsel designation marking an especially distinguished bottling. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this historic bottle are not provided.

Food & Serving
Enjoy this mature Riesling as an aperitif or alongside elegant desserts such as fruit tart, peach or apricot-based pastries, crème brûlée and lightly sweetened desserts. It can also complement blue cheese or rich pâté. Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C. Decanting is generally not essential, but carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and pouring gently can help separate any sediment while preserving the wine’s delicate mature aromas.

Producer
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the most respected names in the Mosel, with a long-standing reputation for producing outstanding Rieslings from prestigious sites around Wehlen. The estate is particularly associated with the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, whose steep slopes and slate soils provide the foundation for wines of precision, longevity and elegance. Bottles from historic vintages such as 1964 are highly sought after by collectors and lovers of mature German Riesling.
