Joh Jos Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2011

For any fan of Riesling, the mention of Germany’s Mosel region often sparks a passionate discussion about its renowned wines, and without a doubt, the name Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm will come up repeatedly, always spoken of with the kind of reverence typically reserved for royalty.Founded in 1911 by Johann Josef Prüm, the winery quickly earned a reputation for its vibrant, pure expressions of Riesling, grown on the steep, slate-rich slopes at the heart of the Mosel. Today, the estate is managed by Dr. Katharina Prüm, who oversees 13.5 hectares of vines, including some rare, ungrafted vines. Stephen Reinhardt one of the most prolific Riesling specialist stated “No matter what kind of mood you are in, the world always seems a better place with a glass of Prüm in hand; these are gracious, charming, wines that go straight for the heart leaving you only with the desire to finish the bottle quickly, resolving to finish a second bottle more slowly and reflectively.” Ten years ago, the founder of The World of Wine was introduced to Joh. Jos. Prüm while dining at Mr Wong, and the experience has left a lasting impression ever since. Known for their purity and balance, Joh. Jos. Prüm wines pair beautifully with Asian cuisine. The winery offers a diverse range of Riesling styles, from the crisp dryness of Kabinett to the richer, sweeter expressions of Auslese.
