Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerauslese ranks at number 5 with a price of around 10,000 euros!!

The Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese from Prüm is an absolute masterpiece with a drinking window until 2090+. The wine is full of apple and pear essences enveloped in notes of honeysuckle and lily. The Prüm Riesling Spatlese Wehlener Sonnenuhr is very delicate with a silky texture. This is a unique and such a beautiful Riesling. Wonderful lightly chilled as an aperitif, but certainly also recommended with white meat. The statement by Stephan Reinhardt of the Wine Advocate (Parker) is very apt: "This is impossible to spit, as the crystalline acidity is so delicate and interwoven with the fruit and texture of this persistently salty beauty."

98/100 Parker with drinking window up to 2090+
