The 2003 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Museum Release is an exceptional mature Mosel Riesling released from the estate's cellars after extended bottle ageing. Sourced from the renowned Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, the Goldkapsel designation is reserved for outstanding parcels with exceptional concentration and ageing potential. The nose reveals layers of ripe apricot, peach, preserved citrus, blossom honey, slate and delicate spice, reflecting both the vineyard's distinctive slate soils and over two decades of careful maturation.
On the palate, it is lusciously sweet yet beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity, with flavours of candied citrus, quince, baked apple and dried apricot supported by a silky texture and pronounced mineral freshness. The finish is long, elegant and remarkably precise, showcasing the timeless character of mature Mosel Riesling.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a superb choice for collectors and lovers of aged German Riesling. It pairs beautifully with blue cheese, foie gras, spicy Asian cuisine or fruit-based desserts. Drinking magnificently now, this Museum Release will continue to evolve gracefully for 15–25 years under proper cellaring conditions.
