"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. |

The sensuous curves of Art Nouveau design and joyful flourishes of rococo both give an idea of what Mosel riesling elegance means, but in a masterpiece like this it takes on a totally distinctive feeling unlike anything else on Planet Wine. The white peach fruit, white flower aromas and slatey minerality all tingle on your palate, then flicker on and on in a totally fascinating manner in the nearly endless finish. The touch of sweetness is already beautifully integrated, although the wine just began a decades-long life. Drink or hold.

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 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is concentrated and very intense on the fruit-driven, deep and spicy nose. The wine is very elegant and refined on the dense and seriously structured, salivating palate that is a promise for the future and endlessly salty in the present. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 08 24 in January 2025.
