WINE · 2023

Wehlener Sonnenuhr
Riesling Kabinett

A featherweight Riesling from a near-vertical slate amphitheatre—bright with citrus and herbs, carried by sweetness, and held in line by vivid acidity.

01 · THE WINE

Lightness with a
serious sense of place.

Kabinett can look delicate on paper, but the best examples are anything but slight. This 2023 combines low alcohol with a poised balance of fruit sweetness and brisk acidity. Think white peach, currant, cool mint and wet stone rather than sheer richness.1

A little reduction can make a young Prüm seem reserved at first. Give it time in the glass: the point is not immediate volume, but the slow arrival of detail. Its energy comes from contrast—ripe fruit against cool herbal tones, sweetness against a clean, slate-like finish.

A wine of lightness,
not simplicity.

02 · THE TERROIR

A sundial on a
wall of slate.

Wehlener Sonnenuhr rises directly across the Mosel from the village of Wehlen. Parts of the site reach gradients between 60 and 100 percent, with Riesling traditionally trained on individual stakes. The southwest exposure, reflective river and stony ground gather warmth in an otherwise cool valley.2

SLOPE60–100%Exceptionally steep
ALTITUDE110–320 mRiver to ridge
ASPECTSouthwestLong afternoon light
SOILDevonian slateLean and stony

The vineyard takes its name from the large sundial built on the slope by Jodocus Prüm in the nineteenth century. It was practical before it became iconic: a way for workers and the village below to read the hour from across the river.2

03 · THE PEOPLE

The Prüm family,
still looking forward.

Joh. Jos. Prüm remains family-owned. The VDP lists Dr. Manfred Prüm, Wolfgang Prüm and Dr. Katharina Prüm as owners, with Dr. Manfred responsible for the cellar. Their work stays closely tied to Riesling, Prädikatswein and the grey Devonian slate sites around Wehlen and Graach.3

Tradition here is treated as a discipline, not a museum piece: keep what remains useful, question it carefully, and let each site and harvest retain its differences.

04 · AT THE TABLE

How to serve it

8°Serve8–10°C
◷Open10 min early
⌁GlassWhite wine

The bottle is best served at 8–10°C and does not need decanting.1 Our editorial pairing call: try smoked salmon, chilli-bright Thai dishes, pork with herbs, or salty aged cheese. A few quiet minutes in the glass should help a young bottle open.
