FEATURES
The 2010 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese hails from a German vintage that, despite challenging weather, was hugely rewarding for producers who managed it well. Dr. Katharina Prüm noted that the 2010 vintage in Mosel resulted in high concentration, high ripeness, and high acidity, but with a ripe, not 'itchy' or green, acidity that perfectly balances the fruit. This wine is a benchmark for sweet Rieslings, deep, rich, and layered, with wonderful acidity and an endless finish. It's described as unabashedly forward with sweet, juicy, stonefruit intensity, yet remarkably composed, anchored with piercing citrus acidity and a bristle of crushed-stone and slate minerality on the finish. Tasting notes also include golden colors, aromas of lemon oil, fresh-cut grass, green melons, and spring dew, with flavors of lightly sweet meringue, crisp, refreshing, and a substantial body of mouth-watering acidity, ending gently with tangerine and light ginger. Many tasters agree it's just starting to enter a wonderful drinking window, showcasing gorgeous tropical fruit and bracing acidity that balance the sweetness, making it 'adult grape juice'. 【A harmonious, expressive wine with an extraordinary capacity to age gracefully.】
🍴 Food Pairing: This fruity-style Riesling is incredibly versatile for food pairing, even better than dry wines, as its slight sweetness acts as a bridge for more spicy dishes. It works well with European and Asian dishes. Specific suggestions include foie gras, leek soup, and a wide range of cuisine. It can also pair well with fruit-based desserts.
🥂 Event Suggestions: This wine is perfect for a New Year's Day brunch, convincing many that sweet Riesling can be magical. It's also an excellent choice for a sophisticated gathering, a celebratory dinner, or simply to enjoy on its own as a special treat.
