      Riesling from the cliff’s edge—delicate, bright, and deeply mineral.The 2023 Joh. Jos. Prüm Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is a thrilling expression from one of the Mosel’s most dramatically steep and stony sites. Zeltinger Sonnenuhr sits just north of Wehlen and shares its southern exposure and slate soils, but with even less topsoil and older vines—some over 60 years old—yielding lower quantities and greater density in the glass.

      This Spätlese is all tension and texture. The fruit—yellow plum, lemon candy, and subtle herbal lift—is wrapped around a vivid spine of acidity and that unmistakable wet-slate character. It's a wine of interplay: ripe yet crystalline, charming now yet structured to evolve. The finish dances with citrus and salinity, a reminder that great Mosel Riesling is built on lightness, not weight.

      Whether savoured now or laid down for the long haul, this is Prüm doing what it does best—showing off site and style in perfect harmony.

      The 2023 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese is still a little reductive. A slight dried herbal frisson plays around tender yellow plum notes on the shy nose. The palate is beautifully light and vividly citric with gentle lemon candy sweetness and luminous freshness. A tingling, balanced, vivid finish accentuates the lightness.

      — Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous, 95 Points

      The 2023 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese opens with a highly delicate bouquet of finely crushed or weathered slate into which the fruit is bedded like a princess... dense and stimulating saline and frisky Spätlese from one of the finest Mosel terroirs.

      Joh Jos Prüm

      The Prüm family story in the Mosel dates back to 1156, beginning with was Johann Josef Prüm (1873 - 1944) who founded the estate in 1911. By the mid-1930s Johann Josef’s son, Sebastian, forged the distinctive style of the Prüm wines. From 1969, the imitable Dr Manfred Prüm would elevate Joh. Jos. Prüm to even greater heights, today the estate is run by Manfred’s daughter Katharina Prüm who watches over 13.5 hectares of vines on the harrowing slate-rich slopes of the Middle Mosel. In The Wines of Germany, Stephen Brook writes “With the rise of so many excellent winemakers in the Mosel, one might have supposed that Joh. Jos. Prüm, with its profound conservatism, might have been overtaken and left behind. Not a bit of it. The Estate remains where it has been for decades: at the summit.” Which begs the question, what is the secret to J.J. Prüm's continued success? How do they stand out among top Mosel producers? It’s all about their exceptional vineyards: old vines at great sites, keeping the lowest yields, daring but calculated late harvesting, and a careful selection of the finest berries.

      Joh. Jos. Prüm's vineyards are at forefront of the estate's success. Their holdings include vineyards - Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, Bernkasteler Lay, Bernkasteler Badstube and Zeltinger Sonnenuhr. All of these sites are exclusively dedicated to growing and harvesting Riesling grapes for Joh. Jos. Depending on the specific vintage, the average annual production of wine is typically between 10,000 to 13,000 cases.
