Description
 
A glorious sense of liquid floral perfume – suggesting honeysuckle, heliotrope, and apple blossom – pervades the Prum 2011 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese, dovetailing deftly with quince preserves and Normandy cider on a subtly creamy, almost weightlessly buoyant, and infectiously juicy palate. This ultra-polished and impeccably-balanced performance lingers ravishingly with a strong sense of underlying wet stone and nut oils added to its pure expression of fruit and liquid perfume. Yes, it’s quite rounded-off in overall impression and, in contrast with most of the wines in this year’s Prum collection, obviously sweet. But there is potential for three decades of titillation and satisfaction. Wine Advocate 93

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.)
