Product details
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the Mosel’s most revered family estates, internationally admired for its unwavering dedication to purity, site expression, and longevity. Founded in the early 20th century, the house is especially renowned for its meticulous stewardship of steep slate slopes along the Mosel River. The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr site sits at the northern edge of this famed area, marked by shallow, stony blue slate soils that shape a distinctive and nuanced profile. The 2021 Auslese from this vineyard reflects the estate’s patient, detail-driven approach, highlighting clarity, balance, and a finely tuned sense of place that has made Joh. Jos. Prüm a benchmark for Riesling lovers worldwide.
On the palate, this 2021 release is luminous and refined, opening with crisp citrus tones layered over mineral-driven freshness. Notes of lemon zest and orchard fruit glide across a delicate, finely textured frame, supported by a gentle, rounded acidity that gives the expression both poise and depth. The mouthfeel is graceful and precise, offering a sense of lightness despite its richness, while a subtle saline edge carries the finish with elegance and lift. Playful yet noble, this Auslese delivers remarkable finesse, complexity, and charm, making it both captivating now and rewarding over time.
