The Sonnenuhr vineyard is famously known for and named after the sundial in its center. The time piece was built out of exposed rock in 1848 by Jodocus Prüm. The vineyard is punishingly steep. Rising from its base at 110m it gains altitude at a 70% gradient until it tops out at 195m. With its southern exposure, it is warm yet it produces elegant wines with excellent aging potential.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
The 2007 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule is proof that – 40 years after the Summer of Love – Flower Power is still a viable concept, at least chez Prum. Sweetly perfumed gardenia, decadent lily, bitter-sweet iris ... all cavort in a matrix of apple and quince preserves, vanilla and lemon cream, honey and white raisin. And for all of its richness, sweetness is the last thing on your mind while this wine is on the table. I imagine you could simply inhale its entire, vast sensual contents, so ethereal is every aspect of it. And if that doesn’t get you high, then you’re no Mosel wine lover!
