Prüm’s 1959 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling feinste Auslese Goldkapsel is a rare mature Mosel Riesling from one of Germany’s most celebrated vineyard sites. Produced from the historic 1959 vintage, this beautifully aged wine combines the elegance of Riesling with the concentration traditionally associated with a Goldkapsel selection—making it a compelling choice for collectors and lovers of mature sweet wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is expected to show a deep golden hue, with the colour and intensity reflecting its considerable age. Its bouquet is complex and mature, revealing layers of ripe and dried fruit, honey, spice and the subtle savoury nuances that can develop in fine Riesling over decades.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, balanced by the lively acidity that is central to great Mosel Riesling. Notes of honeyed fruit and spice lead into a long, lingering finish. At more than six decades old, the wine is fully mature and should be enjoyed now; its condition and remaining vitality will depend greatly on storage and fill level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWehlener Sonnenuhr is a renowned Mosel vineyard site, known for its steep, sun-exposed slopes and slate-rich soils, which help Riesling achieve both aromatic concentration and refreshing acidity. The Goldkapsel designation indicates an especially select Auslese, traditionally made from highly ripe grapes. Specific details of the 1959 harvest and vinification are not available, but the wine reflects the classic Mosel approach of preserving Riesling’s natural fruit, sweetness and acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas to open without suppressing its complexity. It should pair beautifully with delicate fish, poultry in a light or creamy sauce, pâté, mildly spicy dishes and mature cheeses. Decanting is not usually necessary for an aged Riesling, although carefully standing the bottle upright before serving and pouring gently can help leave any sediment behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoh. Jos. Prüm is one of the most respected names in the Mosel, with a long-standing reputation for producing exceptionally refined Rieslings from prestigious vineyard sites. The estate is particularly associated with wines of purity, pronounced acidity and remarkable longevity, and its Wehlener Sonnenuhr bottlings are considered benchmarks for the region.
