Importer Notes

The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr is one of the best white wine locations in Germany. In comparison to the neighboring Wehlen sundial, the very stony, mostly quite light, blue Devonian slate soil here is very shallow. This leads to wines of a special breed and distinctive minerality.

For centuries the Prüm family has called the village of Wehlen home. The 33.5 acre estate consists of nearly 70% ungrafted vines. Holdings are in the best parts of the top Middle-Mosel sites: Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, Graacher Domprobst, Bernkasteler Lay, Bernkasteler Badstube, and Bernkasteler Bratenhöfchen. Average annual production is 13,000 cases. The harvest at J.J. Prüm is always extremely late, and the wines are very long-lived.
