Joh. Jos. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2021 MAGNUM - Mosel
Closure: Cork
Bottle size: 1500ml
Maximum buy quantity no greater than 1 bottles.
Again, the step up here is one of power rather than just sweetness. Riper and more intense is a more accurate way of describing what’s happening. The style remains pure and ultra-fine, and while the Spätlese wines revel in juicy intensity, this bracket offers more power and heightened mineral length. Harvested in tries across the first two weeks in November, the wines were bottled at 7% alcohol. The ultra-pure 2021s are stunning and encapsulate why J.J. Prüm is considered a true master of this Prädikat. Although it’s a classical year for Kabinett and Spätlese, such cooler years often make incredibly exciting Auslese. There is a level of delicacy and detail strikingly different from riper years.

Producers notes
The Prüm family history in the Mosel dates back to 1150, but it was Johan Josef Prüm who established the estate in 1911, and Johan’s son Sebastian who carved out the distinctive style of the Prüm wines in the 1930’s. In the late 1960’s the great Dr. Manfred Prüm took the reins and raised the estate to benchmark status as the finest of the Mosel, where it has remained ever since. Today, the winery is managed by fourth generation Katharina Prüm, who continues her family’s stellar legacy.
The estate has 33.5 acres of vineyards planted with Riesling on steeply-sloping, Devon schist soils. The vast majority of the holdings are in the top middle-Mösel sites: Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, Graacher Domprobst, Bernkasteler Lay, Bernkasteler Badstube and Bernkasteler Bratenhöfchen. Yields are severely restricted and harvesting is late and often continues through to late November. The winemaking is meticulous and the wines are characterised by their purity of fruit as well as by their distinctive mineral/slate character.
