JJ Prum Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spatlese 2021

“The 2021er Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese has a slightly reductive yet beautifully smoky nose of flint stone, greengage, verbena, lime tree, and minty herbs. The wine proves dynamic and focused on the palate, with lively but ripe acidity and more creamy elements joining the party as it evolves. The finish is very long and focused, with delicate notes of orange blossom, almond, and grapefruit. This is a superb Spätlese in the making. 2031-2051” 94 points, Jean Fisch and David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines.

“The 2021 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese is from the smallest parcel the Prüms have, of just 0.6ha. Smoky, funky reduction can barely cloud the vivid citrus notes that break through - hints of tangerine are laced with lime and have beautiful crushed citrus foliage highlights. The sweetness on the palate amplifies the citrus purity, raising it to precision and high aromatic allure with bright acidity. This is incisive, vivid, invigorating and super-bright. What a treasure, what a celebration of citrus, what an incredible balance.” 95 points, Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous.
