One of the Mosel's steepest vineyards, Wehlener Sonnenuhr ('Sundial') has almost no topsoil - the ground is instead covered by shards of pure blue slate, from which Riesling vines eke out a living, perched precariously above the river below. The legendary JJ Prum is one of the region's finest producers, and the wines show irresistibly charming peach fruit and clover honey notes when young, while having the capacity to age for decades. Light in body and low in alcohol, this iconic Kabinett is ethereal in texture, and yet with an intensity, complexity and exciting tension that stands in contrast to its delicacy of style. A wine of magnificent balance.

Press Review
96/100 - Here is a great Mosel Kabinett that needs a bit more time to show what it is really made of. Still very young with a pronounced yeasty character that slowly recedes with aeration, but the white peach and honeysuckle aromas that emerge are stunning. Extremely vibrant and precise, the slatey acidity making this fabulously graceful. As pure as an Alpine stream running with glacier water. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
Press Review
95/100 - This vibrantly peachy, salt-licked kabinett requires just a few minutes of aeration to peel back the layers of smoke and slate that may obscure its fragrant, abundantly fruity style. Just a shade off-dry, it's a piercing, laser-edged sip of cut stone, bracing white peach, and lemon and lime flavours. Lacy in texture but lifted and searing, the finish is harmoniously dry and meanders on veins of salt and gunpowder. A thrilling, complex yet irresistibly youthful wine that's ready now with a decant but sure to reward cellaring as well. Drink 2023-2043.
