"The entire collection is a light-footed but intensely aromatic dream." - Anne Krebeihl MW, Vinous
When it comes to all-time benchmark Mosel Riesling, Joh. Jos. Prum sets the bar, vintage after vintage. The venerable Graacher Himmelreich and Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyards form the backbone of the estate, and the 2023 vintage has produced another round of simply exquisite expressions from these sites. Wine Advocate's Stephan Reinhardt declares, "Overall, the wines of the 2023 vintage are classic in style: pure, clear, filigreed and fresh, with fine fruit ripeness, weightless elegance and stimulating crystalline acidity." We couldn't have summed it up any better.
With smashing critical accolades fromVinous, Wine Advocate,and James Suckling's Riesling critic Stuart Pigott, the 2023s from winemaker Katherina Prum are emblematic of the singular quality and pedigree that defines this iconic Mosel estate. At every tier, of the Pradikat hierarchy, these are collectible showstoppers that will thrill any serious fan and stand for decades in any cellar next to the world's most long-lived collectible white wines. |

This great Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese shows exactly the combination of white flower and white peach aromas with silky succulence and extraordinary freshness that made these wines legendary. There’s a healthy amount of unfermented grape sweetness, but the interplay of this with the myriad other components is so complex and fascinating. Super-graceful finish that feels like stroking satin. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Intense tropical fruit aromas such as fully ripe mangoes but also baby pineapples open the 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese that reveals a savory slate spice. On the palate, this is a rich yet savory and persistently saline, juicy and structured Auslese with a long and still mouth-filling finish. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 12 24 in January 2025.

The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese, made with virtually no botrytis from ripe grapes, offers equal notes of grapefruit peel, juicy peach and lemon. The extreme finesse of the Prüm style meets the site's elegance, with stony lemon running like a central vein through the linear, elongated body. Such finesse, lightness and filigree nature, yet so much depth. Simply astonishing and a paradigm of site and style.
