Riesling Spatlese 'Wehlener Sonnenuhr' by Prum is an elegant, full-bodied and expressive white wine, coming from a particularly valuable parcel of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard in Moselle. The Spatlese type corresponds to a late harvest of about 1 week, which allows the grapes to concentrate aromas and sugars while maintaining the freshness of the vine. Dense with aromas, persistent and long, it has an excellent potential for evolution and aging. It ages in steel for a few months before bottling. Floral aromas, aromas of apple, white pulp fruit and spicy nuances. Vibrant attack, with ripe fruit and multifaceted and sweet aromas. Long and persistent finish, fresh and savory. Excellent when young, it excels at full maturity after a few years in the bottle.
