"Aromas of pear and apple—intertwined with honeysuckle, lilac, and apple blossom—define JJ Prum’s 2011 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese. With remarkable delicacy and notes of wet stone, this cuvée combines luscious fresh fruit with a floral quality that memorably characterizes many of the wines in this collection. The silky texture is balanced by mineral notes as well as apple seeds and skin. The finish is soothing and seductive. At least 30 years of enjoyment. " (Wine Advocate 2013 - Robert Parker).

About the wine:

This aromatic Riesling is wonderfully floral without being cloying, with alluring aromas of honey and candle wax. It is rich and ripe on the palate, with concentrated notes of mandarin and yellow cherry, enhanced by a burst of citrusy acidity that lingers on the finish.
