John Josh. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is a famous spätlese wine from the Moselle region in Germany. The wine is produced by the renowned winery Joh. Josh. Prüm, which has been making wine in Wehlen since 1156.
The grapes for this wine are grown on the steep slopes of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, a vineyard with optimal sun exposure and slate soil. This unique terroir gives the wine a mineral character and a lively acidity. The spätlese harvest means that the grapes are harvested later than normal, which means they have a higher sugar content.
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine ages on the lees for 6-9 months. This provides a more complex aroma and a fuller taste.
In the nose of the Joh. Josh. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese unfolds intense aromas of citrus fruits, stone fruit, honey, peach, apricot and mineral nuances. The taste is powerful and complex, with ripe fruit, lively acidity, a touch of honey sweetness and a long, persistent aftertaste.
