Joh Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese (1500ml) 2024

98 POINTS

Very cool, straight and precise, with staggering tension between the super-slatey acidity and wet-stone minerality on the one side and the white peaches and limes on the other side. Enormous drive and energy, and you barely think about the sweetness. Drink from release.

The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is a total tease. Aromatic citrus shimmers on the nose, uniting grapefruit, tangerine and bergamot scents. Citrus foliage adds an extra frisson of freshness. The palate homes in on that line between tartness and the ripe aroma that you find only in the most exquisite citrus fruits. The 2024 has an allure and fusion of impressions that is inextricable and therefore beguiling. It is simply wonderful, fresh, light and so elegant. (Medium)

The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese #18 is still yeasty on the nose, with a beautiful Williams pear aroma. The palate is as salty as it is zesty, with a hint of lemon peel tingling, a tart touch of lime and a stony verve that draws you into that slate. Salt, stone and citrus constitute a well of freshness, making the mouth water and lending this absolute drive. (Medium)

Creamy and dreamy, with white peach, honeysuckle and pomelo aromas plus minty freshness. Really succulent, but every bit as animating on the medium-bodied palate. Then the vibrant acidity wipes up the natural grape sweetness in the finish with great alacrity and creates wonderful tension with the whole basket of fruit flavors.

Still very youthful, with a soft veil of yeasty, buttery aromas that will melt away in time. Beneath it lies impressive depth: guava, apple tart, chamomile tea, and a touch of lavender honey all rise gradually, each note adding its own color to the wine's emerging harmony. The palate is silky and lifted, with vibrant acidity giving shape and precision to the sweetness. Layered, resonant, and composed with quiet confidence, this Spätlese has all the pieces in place for a truly fine evolution. Best after 2030.
