Delicious. Reliably fantastic. Off dry and elegant. Serve chilled. Medium acidity - great sipper.

White peach and mango are wreathed in heliotrope and honeysuckle, accompanied by a hazy hint of yeastiness and fermentative “stink” familiar from youthful wines at this address. The midpalate impression frees itself entirely from any haziness, delivering floral profusion and a luscious abundance of fruit utterly transparent to stony, smoky and mouthwateringly marine nuances. “It seems to be a particularly good year for Zeltinger,” observed Katharina Prüm, noting that this particular wine made significant qualitative strides in its first nine months. I can’t wait to witness what lies in store that many years or more down the pike! (David Schildknecht, Vinous, January 2020)

It’s whelener sonnenuhr and it’s awesome! Hitting its stride with delightful golden fruit in the palate. It screams jj prum in so many ways. Beautiful half bottle for under $20. Unbelievable actually

Can I buy stock in this? I should get dividends for drinking hot Riesling.

As I said it many times before. Perfect breakfast wine. Impossible to spit. Can age for ever in the cellar.

A bit reductive in its youth with mineral/tar/granite, bright to the point of confectionery, sublime stone fruit and a surprisingly firm finish. Excellent match with curried goat soup.

Petrol and high mineral tones framed by rich and vibrant orchard fruits and blossoms with almost a sweet celery note. Purity that I've come to expect with JJ Prüm
