Joh. Jos. Prüm, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2013
Place: Mosel, Germany
Grape: Riesling
Vibe: Classic, textural
One of the best Riesling producers in the world, one of the best Riesling vineyards in the world, one of the best vintages on record. Easy. Decadent, who doesn't love a bit of decadence. Astounding that a wine of this quality and this age can be less than £50, but hey-ho, off we go. A blinder offering a layered, pulpy, stone fruit rich personality and a wonderful balance between the fruit/acid/mineral things going on. This is Auslese, so it comes in at around 8% and expect a decent level of sweetness, balanced as always. ABV: 8%
