J.J. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 2015 is a sweet white wine from the steep, slate-rich slopes above the Mosel. The vintage’s warm days and cool nights produced fruit of exceptional ripeness and purity, with selective harvesting ensuring fine botrytis influence. Aromas of apricot, honey and lime zest are joined by notes of white peach, slate and floral lift. The palate is concentrated yet vibrant, its sweetness balanced by crystalline acidity and a pronounced mineral core. Texture is silky and precise, and the finish is long, pure and deeply resonant, showing both intensity and refinement.

Vinous
Apple jelly, pear preserves and caramel studded with white raisin and candied citrus peels make for an aromatic display of head-turning intensity and a creamy, glycerol-rich palate of similarly remarkable concentration and allure. A vein of fresh apple and grapefruit is tapped to introduce unexpected primary juiciness into the layers of confitured, lightly torrefied and desiccated fruit concentrates, and the extraordinarily long, mouthwateringly salt-tinged finish also affords glimpses of smoky and stony mineral nuances rare in a Riesling this rich. There’s no youthful reticence to this Wehlener! The share of botrytis here was minimal, according to Katharina Prüm.David Schildknecht1st June 2017
