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

Joh. Jos. Prüm’s 1964 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling feinste Auslese Goldkapsel is a remarkable piece of Mosel wine history. Sourced from the celebrated Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard and presented in the estate’s distinguished Goldkapsel style, it offers a rare opportunity to experience the depth and longevity of a mature German Riesling from one of the region’s most respected producers.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, reflecting its considerable bottle age and concentrated sweet-wine style. Its mature bouquet is marked by ripe peach, apricot and honey, with the developed, layered character expected from a finely aged Riesling. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly sweet, supported by a balancing line of acidity that keeps the wine lively rather than heavy. The finish is long and graceful. While this is a mature collectible wine, its precise condition and remaining development potential will depend on storage history and bottle variation.

Production
Made from Riesling grown in the steep, highly regarded Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard on the Mosel, this wine represents the site’s classic combination of slate-influenced terroir, elegant fruit and pronounced natural acidity. The designation feinste Auslese Goldkapsel indicates an especially selective, richly concentrated Auslese made only in outstanding conditions. Specific details regarding harvesting and vinification for this 1964 bottling are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas and sweetness to unfold in the glass. Its honeyed fruit and balancing acidity make it a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or mature cheeses; it can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative aperitif. Decanting is not normally essential for an aged Riesling, but standing the bottle upright before opening and carefully removing any sediment is recommended. Because of its age, open gently and enjoy soon after serving.

Producer
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the Mosel’s most distinguished Riesling estates, renowned for producing precise, long-lived wines from exceptional vineyard sites. The winery’s association with Wehlener Sonnenuhr is particularly significant: the vineyard is among the region’s most celebrated expressions of steep slate terroir and elegant, age-worthy Riesling. This 1964 Goldkapsel bottling is a notable historical wine, offering collectors and enthusiasts a glimpse into the style and cellaring potential of classic mid-century Mosel sweet wines.
