96pts Vinous

The 2024 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese offers wet stone and dried herbs on the nose, almost like deadnettle crushed on slate, with the tenderest smokiness. The palate then adds a gorgeous streak of ripe Reine Claude plum with a juiciness that softens the stone. It becomes agile, sinuous and animated. What lovely character, subtlety, elegance and astonishing saltiness this has that seemingly swallows most of the sweetness. Its subtle, stony length is remarkable. (Medium)

95pts James Suckling

The apricot aromas make this Spatlese stand out from the pack in the 2024 vintage. But there’s nothing opulent about this wine in spite of the generous juiciness on the medium-bodied palate. In fact, it is sleek, focused and very crisp in the long, complete finish. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Notes

Aromas of peach and cassis notes on the nose. Harmonic interplay of acidity and residual sugar, with mineral character on the palate.

Importer Notes

Vintage after vintage, the Prüm family reasserts itself as an undisputed top-three producer in all of Germany. There is simply nothing like the shimmering, crystalline terroir expressions that emerge from this revered estate. Once again, the wine gods smiled upon the Mosel, as the 2022 vintage is the latest in a string of superb growing seasons, making this a line-up of unequivocal must-have cellar gems. Up and down the range, the genius of winemaker Dr. Katharina Prüm brilliantly shines through. The vintage is being roundly heralded as a return to the utterly enchanting, classic Mosel style of yesteryear, in contrast to the recent excellent, albeit warm and dry, vintages of the past several years.
