WINE DESCRIPTION
Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is a highly sought-after wine that showcases the exceptional winemaking skills of its producer. This wine hails from the renowned appellation of Wehlener Sonnenuhr, known for its steep slopes and slate soils, which impart unique mineral characteristics to the grapes. The vineyard's south-facing exposure ensures optimal sunlight, resulting in fully ripened grapes with concentrated flavors. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of late-harvested Riesling grapes, which are then gently pressed to extract the purest juice. The resulting wine is a Spätlese, meaning it is made from late-harvested grapes, and it exhibits a luscious and rich style with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. This wine is a true gem for Riesling enthusiasts, offering a harmonious blend of fruitiness, minerality, and elegance.
