JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett 2021

Katharina Prüm describes her 2021 Kabinetts as textbook examples. Harvested between mid- and late October, all the wines are superb, and while we might have personal favourites, each wine offers gazelle-like elegance, vibrant, crystalline fruit, thrilling acidity and a clear expression of its vineyard’s personality. The low-alcohol 2021s could effortlessly stand up to a broad range of flavours: sashimi, lighter Asian dishes and tuna tartare, for example. But basically, any seafood or white meat, and of course, they make beautiful aperitifs.

“The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett offers a superbly appealing and hugely complex nose of lily flowers, lozenge, fine spices, thyme, rosemary, spearmint, almond, and cassis, all wrapped in great minty smoke. The wine is superbly playful on the palate, where there are refined flavors of vineyard peach, orange blossom, and almond cream. It proves airy and light-footed. The finish is very delicate and pure. What a great Kabinett in the making. 2029-2041” 94 points, Jean Fisch and David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines
