Description
 
I was surprised when Katharina Prum informed me that a 2010 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese gold capsule was not only her estate’s sole bottling from that site this vintage, but also the first-ever Joh. Jos. Prum gold capsule Auslese from the site (though there were comparable wines if one goes back to a time when the estate labeled wines from the “Wehlener-Zeltinger Sonnenuhr,” such as a 1969 “feinste Auslese” that sported a gold capsule). The mingling here of nut oils; vanilla-laced apple nectar; smoky black tea and citrus oil pungency; as well as dazzlingly diverse floral effusions (peony, lily, heliotrope) is head-turning, and perfectly fits the sense of levity conveyed on a creamy, glycerin-rich palate where they all lusciously and lingeringly reprise. High acids engender a wonderful sense of vibrancy and welcome counterpoint to the wine’s lush texture, yet without the least bit of sharpness. WA95

The Mosel River Valley is probably the most famous and arguably the most admired wine region of Germany. In its wider sense, it includes the adjacent Saar and Rüwer (hence Mosel-Saar-Rüwer), both tributaries of the Mosel River, however it is the middle Mosel (mittelmosel), in particular between and including the towns of Bernkastel-Kues and Erden that the most brilliant wines tend to be produced. Berkastel, Grach, Wehlen, and Zeltingen are some of the most famous wine towns here. All of the vineyards of J.J. Prüm are located within this prestigious strip. The Prüm family history in the Mosel dates back as early as 1156! However Johann Josef Prüm (1873 - 1944), founded the J.J. Prüm estate in 1911. Dr Manfred Prüm has led the estate since 1969. Now his daughter Katharina is taking over the mantle. The 13.5 hectare estate includes some 70% of ungrafted vines (because the phylloxera louse cannot survive in these slate soils.)
