J.J. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese 2014 (Magnum 1.5L)  - First Bottle

Reviews

93 Wine Spectator -
Powerful and concentrated flavors of roasted peach, dried pear and glazed pineapple are focused and offer plenty of dried savory accents in this white, which is very minerally in the midpalate, with a long, crunchy finish. Drink now through 2030. 300 cases imported.
93 Vinous -
Scents and flavors of ripe pear are garlanded with lily of the valley and heliotrope. Tang and piquancy of pear skin and seeds lend counterpoint and invigoration on a creamy palate, and the stone-lined, lusciously long, mouthwateringly salt-tinged finish is at once soothing and stimulating. At a mere 7.5 percent alcohol, this comes off as very delicate, yet not overly sweet. That it (as well as its auctioned counterpart) is so open and expressive relative to its fellow Prum Spatlesen of the vintage comes as a surprise, since more often, this estate’s Wehlener Sonnenuhr bottlings hang back early on. (I did not taste a second non-auction bottling, A.P. #23.)

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Well, the 2015 Auslese mags sold out a bit quicker than we anticipated, but luckily we have a handful of these for you Riesling lovers. Have we gone MAD?! Look at this price! Life is just better with a giant (I mean really BIG --- over a foot and half long?!) magnum of J.J. Prum. There may be no better way to roll into a party (especially with a bunch of winemakers in Napa) than with one of these giant bottles...trust us.

About the Producer

Since 1156 the Prums have called the village of Wehlen home.  The Prüm estate as we know it today began with Sebastian Alois Prum (1794-1871); his brother Jodocus constructed the Wehlener and Zeltinger sundials. Of his six sons only Mathias (1835-1890) married. In 1911 the estate was split amongst Mathias’ four sons and three daughters. It was when his oldest son, Joh. Jos. Prum, started the estate and his son who really propelled the estate into international stardom. It’s most important vineyard holdings are the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr and Bernkasteler Badstube. Today, J.J. Prum stands as one of the most revered producers of Riesling in the world.
