Joh Jos Prüm – Mosel Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese – 2013

Wehlener Sonnenuhr is one of the world’s best single plots for wine production. Totally south-facing vineyard with a 70% slope, where thanks to the reflection of the Mosel River, exceptional Rieslings are produced, indeed the best in the world, capable of giving results for more than 40 years. In this parcel, free-range plants are still found. After spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the wine ages in steel tanks and bottle. We are talking about an Auslese Riesling, where the late harvest regulates the wine’s sugar level, giving lovable, deep sensations of great strength. For me this is a supreme, almost indescribable Riesling, where sweetness and acidity are a perfect match, indeed so intriguing and mineral is the wine that you almost forget the sweet part.

Description

Joh Jos Prum is one of Germany’s most legendary wineries. We are in Mosel, specifically in Bernkastel-Wehlen, where the combination of steep hillsides and the Mosel River create the conditions for the production of the world’s best Rieslings. The winery as we know it was founded in 1911, but for more than 400 years the Prum family has been cultivating vineyards in the best exposures mainly on free-range vines such as Bernkasteler Doctor, Graacher Himmelreich and Wehlener Sonnenuhr. The prestige of this winery is mainly due
to the production of Rieslings with residual sugar, just as German winemaking tradition dictates. Trocken wines are never made here. These are wines vinified with spontaneous fermentations only in steel tanks, precisely to fully enhance the organoleptic characteristics of each individual vineyard-bound vintage. Majestic wines, rare to find, but to be savored with delicacy and above all to be kept and preserved to fully understand the sweetness,acidity and freshness they give us over time.
