Very ripe apple and pear; honeysuckle, gardenia, and heliotrope inform the nose of the Prum 2009 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese. Marzipan and hazelnut paste ally themselves to the luscious orchard fruit and liquid floral perfume in an effusive demonstration of palate generosity, reinforced by textural creaminess. Salt and wet stone add intrigue and saliva-inducing invigoration to a finish of impressive, irresistible length. This beautifully reflects the inherent complexity of its great site, and is going to be worth following for at least 25 years.

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.)
