S.A. Prüm, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese

S.A. Prüm's Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is a classic expression from one of the Mosel Valley's most esteemed vineyards. The 'Sonnenuhr' (sundial) vineyard's steep slate slopes ensure perfect sun exposure, yielding intensely concentrated, late-harvest Riesling grapes. This Spätlese, meaning 'late harvest,' offers a delicate balance of residual sweetness and crisp, vibrant acidity, characteristic of the best Mosel wines. Expect an aromatic profile dominated by ripe peach, apricot, and honey, underscored by the region's distinctive mineral notes. On the palate, it is elegant and light-bodied, with a lingering finish. This wine is superb on its own, but its complexity makes it an exceptional partner for spicy Asian cuisine or sharp cheeses. It will age beautifully for decades.
