Joh. Jos. Prüm Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese 2024 750ml

Here’s a very classic Mosel Spatlese with exactly the combination of richness, elegance and delicacy that makes this category unique. Such delicate white peach and sliced pear, rose and honeysuckle aromas. Very long finish that is as succulent as it is refined. You just want to linger there for as long as you can. Drink or hold. (Stuart Pigott)

The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese opens with a serene, stony, salty slaty breeze. The palate is exquisitely fine and very bright, luminous even, soaring upward as it reaches down into the slate, embodying the total elegance of the site. Slenderness and serenity are exemplary.

The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is a total tease. Aromatic citrus shimmers on the nose, uniting grapefruit, tangerine and bergamot scents. Citrus foliage adds an extra frisson of freshness. The palate homes in on that line between tartness and the ripe aroma that you find only in the most exquisite citrus fruits. The 2024 has an allure and fusion of impressions that is inextricable and therefore beguiling. It is simply wonderful, fresh, light and so elegant. (Medium)

Creamy and dreamy, with white peach, honeysuckle and pomelo aromas plus minty freshness. Really succulent, but every bit as animating on the medium-bodied palate. Then the vibrant acidity wipes up the natural grape sweetness in the finish with great alacrity and creates wonderful tension with the whole basket of fruit flavors. Drink or hold.

The 2024 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese offers a complex, immediately saline and stimulating bouquet of bright tropical fruits, delicate and coolish slate and herbal aromas. Full-bodied and intense, with a remarkably fine texture, this is a saline, savory and even mouthwatering Spätlese with substance, structure and length. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 08 25 in March 2026.

Still very youthful, with a soft veil of yeasty, buttery aromas that will melt away in time. Beneath it lies impressive depth: guava, apple tart, chamomile tea, and a touch of lavender honey all rise gradually, each note adding its own color to the wine's emerging harmony. The palate is silky and lifted, with vibrant acidity giving shape and precision to the sweetness. Layered, resonant, and composed with quiet confidence, this Spätlese has all the pieces in place for a truly fine evolution. Best after 2030.

An opulent, rich version that leans into its sweetness, with luscious layers of peach, pear and apple. Oily in feel, this glides through alongside lashings of smoke and petrol, plus pink peppercorn spiciness. Hints of baking spices and salty mineral depth reveal themselves on the long, winding, slate-lined finish. Drink now through 2040. 110 cases imported.

There’s a litheness to this elegant version, with a finessed, angular feel to the notes of green plum, star fruit and nectarine underscored by crushed slate accents and a hint of chamomile. Focused and pure, with an inner density that builds, this compact and tightly wound white is one for the cellar. Best from 2025 through 2042. 280 cases imported. (Kristen Bieler)

A study in purity, with expressive notes of hydrangea, green apple and melon woven with savory details of fennel frond and celery. A chalky mineral vein contributes to the chiseled precision on the smoke-kissed finish, which stretches on and on. Drink now through 2039. 110 cases imported.
