The 2023 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett is a breathtaking Mosel Riesling from one of Germany’s most legendary producers, sourced from the iconic blue slate slopes of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard. Ethereal, filigreed and incredibly precise, the wine perfectly captures the hallmark Prüm style — delicately sweet, featherlight and driven by crystalline acidity and profound minerality. The nose reveals white peach, green apple and candied citrus layered alongside jasmine, lime blossom, wet slate and delicate smoky mineral notes. There’s an extraordinary sense of lift and purity, with saline slate complexity adding remarkable finesse and elegance.
On the palate, it is luminous and beautifully poised, balancing gentle sweetness with vibrant natural acidity and finely etched mineral tension. Layers of ripe peach, lemon peel and orchard fruits glide effortlessly across the palate alongside cool slate minerality, floral nuance and subtle honeyed richness. Weightless yet intensely expressive in style, the finish is long, pristine and refreshingly mouth-watering, showing the incredible precision and longevity for which Joh. Jos. Prüm is revered.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett is a stunning example of classic Mosel Kabinett — elegant, mineral and beautifully balanced between sweetness, acidity and finesse. Superb with spicy Asian cuisine, sushi, fresh seafood, pork dishes or simply enjoyed chilled on its own. Drink now for its youthful vibrancy or cellar gracefully through 2055+.
