"Essences of pear and apple - interwoven with honeysuckle, lilac and apple blossom - characterize JJ Prum's Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese 2011. With a remarkable delicacy and a hint of wet stones, this cuvée combines fresh gourmet fruit with a kind of florality that memorably characterizes so many of the wines in this collection. The silky texture is counterbalanced by mineral notes as well as apple pips and skin. The finish is soothing and seductive. At least 30 years of pleasure." (Wine Advocate 2013 - Robert Parker).

About the wine:
This aromatic Riesling is wonderfully floral, not sickening, with seductive aromas of honey and candle wax. It's greedy and ripe on the palate, with concentrated tangerine and yellow cherry notes, lifted by a series of lemony acidities that prolong the finish.
