Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese 2020 Joh.Jos.Prum

Professional reviews

Jancis Robinson (17.50)

Fresh as a daisy on the nose; positively bounds out of the glass. Round, ample fruit easily trumps any SO2. Delicate yet with considerable honeyed fruit. Spreads all the way across the palate, which suggests a particularly bright future for this wine.

The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese is intense and complex on the still introverted but complex nose that shows clear, bright fruit aromas (baby pineapple) intermingled with fine, flinty slate notes. What an aristocratic appearance! Round, crystalline and saline on the palate, this 2020 Auslese is much more openhearted and fruity as well as frisky and frivolous than it pretends to be on the nose. This is a really Catholic Riesling or a picture-book Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese. Its finish, however, is Protestant: rigorously linear, straight and with serious structure and grip. All in all, this is the world's most ecumenical Sonnenuhr. Pure fascination. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
