WINE DESCRIPTION
Joh. Jos. Prüm Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is a late harvest style white wine from iconic German winery Joh. Jos. Prüm. The grapes are sourced from the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard, located in the Mosel region, known for its steep slopes and slate soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of only the ripest grapes late in the growing season, which are then fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's natural flavors and aromas. The resulting wine is a classic Riesling Spätlese, with a medium body, crisp acidity, and a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. This wine is a perfect representation of the Mosel region's unique terroir and the winery's commitment to quality winemaking.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine has a youthful color that is almost water-white.On the nose, it is concentrated and aromatic with notes of peach skin, green apple, and slatey mineral complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and sweet, but with exceptionally well-balanced vibrant acidity that has a moreish sweet-and-sour aspect. Only just beginning to show signs of honeyed development, this wine is highly drinkable now but will also develop petrol-like complexity over the next 25 years. Serve with seared scallops, lardons, and apple puree.
