2024 Joh Jos Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese

"The wines are a stunning collection of real thrill—wonderfully classic and so expressive."
- Anne Krebiehl MW (Vinous)

"Vintages like this have become rare in this century—ones in which full fruit ripeness combines with lightness, fine slate spice and lively acidity..."
- Stephan Reinhardt (The Wine Advocate)

The 2024 Mosel harvest was a proper throwback for Katharina Prüm, forcing a late October dash that rewarded patience with a cool, classic, and entirely effortless style. If you want big, heavily extracted alcohol, look elsewhere. This vintage is all about pure charm, crystal-clear transparency, and light-footed composure.

Wehlener Sonnenuhr is the estate's headline act, a dizzying face of weather-shattered grey slate that breeds incredible complexity. Rather than messing with the fruit in the cellar, the winemaking relies on native yeasts and time-honoured traditions to let the vineyard speak without any artificial volume turned up.

That trademark Prüm reductive matchstick flick settles quickly, unlocking a stream of green orchard fruits, white peach skin, and wild summer blossoms. It sits lightly in the mouth, carrying an unforced grape sweetness that gets pinned down beautifully by a salty, wet-stone mineral finish.
