Description
John Josh. Prüm and the reputation of Wehlener Sonnenuhr
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the most influential wineries in the Mosel region. The estate is known worldwide for Rieslings that excel in purity, elegance, and a slow, beautiful development. Under the leadership of Dr. Katharina Prüm, the style remains consistently focused on finesse: low alcohol, lively acidity, and an expressive minerality derived from the steep slopes along the river.
Wehlener Sonnenuhr is undoubtedly one of Germany's most iconic vineyards. The combination of blue slate, optimal sun exposure, and centuries-old terraced structures produces Rieslings with unparalleled clarity and aromatic tension. The Spätlese from this vineyard is considered one of the region's most refined white wines every year.
The special character of the magnum bottle
This wine is bottled in a magnum format. A magnum ages more slowly, retains its freshness better, and develops complexity more gradually. A magnum is also ideal for festive occasions, as its presentation is both impressive and elegant.
The terroir of Wehlener Sonnenuhr
Wehlener Sonnenuhr is situated on steep slopes directly above the Mosel River. The soil consists almost entirely of blue slate, which ensures heat retention, optimal drainage, and a pronounced minerality. The vines benefit from perfect sun exposure and cool nighttime temperatures. This allows the grapes to ripen slowly and retain vibrant acidity.
In 2024, conditions were ideal for a fresh, precise, and elegant style. The vineyard largely escaped the hail damage that hit other villages, allowing the fruit to be harvested in perfect health and purity.
The 2024 wine year on the Mosel
The spring of 2024 was wet and cooler than average, ensuring healthy vines and sufficient soil moisture. The summer saw some warmer days, but without extreme heat. Harvest took place between October 1st and 31st, with plot-by-plot selection to accurately capture the variable ripeness.
These conditions resulted in exceptionally aromatic Rieslings with brilliant acidity, pure fruit, and a precise minerality. The 2024 wines are considered classic, expressive, and exceptionally long-lived.
The Riesling grape in a refined Spätlese style
In the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Riesling displays a unique combination of ripe fruit, purity, and an almost salty tension. The 2024 Spätlese reveals notes of mandarin peel, white flowers, fresh garden herbs, and subtle slate smoke.
The sweetness is elegant and refined, supported by lively acidity that keeps the wine light and exciting. The aromatic precision and mineral depth ensure that this Spätlese can age effortlessly.
Vinification and maturation
Fermentation takes place slowly and coolly in stainless steel. The traditional method, without wood or artificial intervention, preserves the wine's purity. The wine then matures extensively on fine yeast, which provides structure and elegance without compromising its delicate character.
The result is a wine with subtle floral notes, citrus zest, ripe white fruit, and a variety of mineral nuances. The balance between sweetness and acidity is characteristic of the house.
Color, smell and taste of the 2024 Spätlese
The color is bright light yellow with green highlights. The aroma reveals honey blossom, fresh herbs, mandarin, and a subtle smoky slate aroma. The nose is precise, expressive, and elegant.
The palate is light-hearted yet intensely aromatic. The wine offers mandarin, citrus, white peach, and a delicate spiciness. The mineral tension and salinity provide a long, clean finish. The acidity is beautifully integrated, keeping the sweetness refined and refreshing.
Maturation potential
The 2024 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese has exceptional aging potential. The wine will develop over several decades. In the coming years, freshness will take center stage, while further aging will reveal honey, dried herbs, chamomile, and soft stone fruit notes.

The 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese (Auction) is very clear and precise on the nose that shows delicate notes of finely crushed slate and candied lemon rind notes. Very filigreed yet also lush and generous on the palate, this is a weightless, highly finessed and elegant, savory and sustainably structured wine with generous and dense, very persistent and stimulating fruit with lychee flavors and a long, highly stimulating, saline and crystalline finish. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 17 24 in January 2025.
At the renowned winery in Wehlen in January, I had to taste not only the last but also the penultimate vintage, i.e., 2023 alongside the 2022. I tasted both vintages one after the other, not side by side—the 2023 before lunch, the 2022 afterwards. I don't have a favorite, even though I had thought in advance that the 2023 vintage would have an easy time against its predecessor. But far from it. The hot and dry 2022s at Prüm turned out exceptionally well, and more than once I saw the 2022 ahead of the 2023, but I can't give a plausible reason for this. In any case, Katharina and her team have produced two great collections in two very different and challenging vintages.
The year 2023 began mild and wet. March in particular brought a lot of rain, which continued to a lesser extent into the rather cool April, so the soils were well moistened, quite unlike in 2022, when it was already too dry at this point. Budding did not begin until the end of April. The mild May and hot June were rather dry months. These conditions accelerated the growth of the buds and flowering. In July, there was more rain; and temperatures rose to 35 degrees Celsius at times, but there was also a cooler period with temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius. August was similar, with even more rain and fewer warm days. In September, temperatures barely dropped and averaged 3.5 degrees Celsius above the long-term average. The harvest began very early on September 18 and ended on October 11. “As the temperatures remained warm in October and ripening progressed quickly, we made sure to complete the harvest as quickly as possible,” reports Katharina Prüm.
Prüm was able to harvest all grades from Kabinett to Beerenauslese, with the main focus on Kabinett, Spätlese and Auslese. The beautiful botrytis can be found again in a range from golden capsules to Beerenauslese. Overall, the wines of the 2023 vintage are classic in style: pure, clear, filigreed and fresh, with fine fruit ripeness, weightless elegance and stimulating crystalline acidity.
The year 2022 was one of the warmest and driest since records began and was characterized by unusually low rainfall between March and early September. This year also started with quite mild temperatures. While January was characterized by a lot of precipitation (63% above average), February already brought exceptionally mild temperatures. From March to April, temperatures returned to normal, although these months were already unusually dry.
Budding took place in the second half of April. May and June continued to be dry and very warm. Flowering took place early at the beginning of June. The weather conditions then became more extreme in July. It became significantly warmer and, above all, very dry. There were only two millimeters of precipitation in the entire month! “While temperatures normally start to drop in August, this was not the case in 2022,” says Prüm. “August was the warmest month of all.” Half of the month was over 30 degrees Celsius. Even though there was significantly more rain than in July, it remained very dry. It was not until September that the weather changed. The temperatures dropped and it started to rain—a great relief for nature in general. And according to Prüm, the rain did not harm the grapes.
The harvest began on September 19 and ended on October 22. Kabinett, Spätlese and Auslese could be produced. And although it was not a vintage characterized by botrytis, Prüm was able to sort two gold capsules, in the Bernkasteler Lay and in the Graacher Himmelreich. There is a Lange Goldkapsel from the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr.
Prüm's 2022s are surprisingly clear, taut and elegant and are not inferior to the 2023s in terms of quality, especially not the Spätlese and Auslese wines. This is possibly because Prüm carried out an extensive green harvest in the summer to relieve and preserve the vines and improve the quality of the grapes.

Creamy and dreamy, with white peach, honeysuckle and pomelo aromas plus minty freshness. Really succulent, but every bit as animating on the medium-bodied palate. Then the vibrant acidity wipes up the natural grape sweetness in the finish with great alacrity and creates wonderful tension with the whole basket of fruit flavors. Drink or hold.

From: 2024 Mosel, Saar and Ruwer: Tales of Woe and Wow (Oct 2025)
The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is a total tease. Aromatic citrus shimmers on the nose, uniting grapefruit, tangerine and bergamot scents. Citrus foliage adds an extra frisson of freshness. The palate homes in on that line between tartness and the ripe aroma that you find only in the most exquisite citrus fruits. The 2024 has an allure and fusion of impressions that is inextricable and therefore beguiling. It is simply wonderful, fresh, light and so elegant. (Medium)
- By Anne Krebiehl MW on August 2025
Dr. Katharina Prüm reported only marginal frost damage in Graach and Bernkastel, with Wehlen and Zeltingen spared completely. However, hail hit sites in Graach and Bernkastel, which meant limited quantities from these sites. The wet spring brought almost twice the average precipitation, a boon for the well-drained slopes. Apart from a few hot days in August, there were no extreme temperatures in the summer. Harvest took place between October 1 and 31, with a short break for rain. After the rain, Prüm was able to pick some Auslesen and Auslesen Goldkapsel. “We selected a lot and visited many parcels often due to relatively uneven ripeness within the same vine. We kept checking and picking what was right, so it turned into a laborious harvest,” she said. There is no Kabinett from the Badstube in 2024, due to frost and hail. The wines are a stunning collection of real thrill—wonderfully classic and so expressive.

Weingut Prüm (Weingut Johan Josef Prüm) is a winery with a rich history, the roots of the Prüm family have been in the Moselle area for more than 800 years. In 1911 this famous winery was founded by Johan Josef Prüm and in 1920 son Sebastian started working in the family business.
Son Sebastiaan is the founder of the, to this day, recognizable style for which Prüm wines are praised worldwide. Sebastiaan Prüm died in 1969 and on behalf of his sons, Dr. Manfred Prüm and younger brother Wolfgang Prüm, presided over it. Today, the winery is managed by Manfred and his daughter Katharina Prüm.
The house has completely focused on the renovation of the Riesling. Most of the vines are not grafted, this was not necessary because the Phylloxera louse cannot survive among the slate on which the vineyards are grown. Depending on the harvest, Prüm produces between 10,000 and 13,000 boxes annually. The vineyards cover an area of 22 hectares in Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr and Bernkasteler Badstube respectively.
