JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese 2020

Now you’re talking. Talk about tension, complexity and the interplay of so many flavours, textures and nuances that only German riesling can fashion. Smokey, herbal, mushroom compost, white peach, gardenia, lime zest, lime, blackcurrant and cherry. Broad shouldered and rich with the most complex fruit profile of all wines tasted. Red fruits, blueberry, blackcurrant, yellow peach and white peach. Middle Eastern spices and mint, fleck every detail. Chalky minerals and a squeeze of phenolics are penetrating, relentlessly driving the finish, on and on. Layered, detailed and absorbing. My favourite wine of the tasting. Waters Wine Co

“The 2020er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese offers a superbly spicy, herbal, and refreshing nose of rosemary, vineyard peach, almond cream, white flowers, mint, and cassis. The wine is superbly well-balanced on the palate, where delicious creamy and fruity flavors of almond, vineyard peach, and tangerine make for a pure and smooth feeling. The finish is very long, nicely structured, and well-delineated. This is a superb Spätlese which only now requires some patience for its elements to integrate. 2030-2050.” 93 points, Mosel Fine Wines Issue 59

“Tenser and tighter than the 2020 Graacher Himmelreich. But very mellifluous and composed. Clean and crystalline. Flowers and stones. Real grip.” 17 points, Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com
