Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese, J.J. Prüm - 2022

Item # 12626 750 mL

From one of Germany's most famous vineyards, this off-dry white is brimming with aromatics, minerality, and a soaring acidity. Medium-bodied, it is vinified in stainless steel to preserve the fruit character and herbaceous freshness, Delicious while still young, this is undoubtedly also a wine for the cellar. It can be paired with a wide range of dishes, from fowl in cream sauce, to stewed mushrooms, Königsberger Klopse, and many richly spiced foods from across the globe. It is best consumed with a slight chill to highlight the rainbow of aromas and flavors.
