At this level, the Prüm wines are still light in body, but the flavour intensity and depth of character go up markedly, and the 2022s deliver a mesmerising balance between elegance, freshness, racy fruit and slate-like minerality. There is considerably more depth of fruit here than in the Kabinett-level wines, although not necessarily more overt sweetness. Instead, it is a question of more flesh, more power and, therefore, wines that can stand up to richer food. Katharina Prüm believes this category is the most versatile at the table. We agree.

Again, as the notes below attest, 2022 is a stunning vintage for Prüm’s Spätlese. These wines are already thrilling to taste but will continue gaining depth and complexity for decades. “Overall, I think 2022 is a Spätlese vintage for us,” says Katharina Prüm. “I was really taken aback by how all wines remained so fresh and with good acidity despite the heat of the vintage. In this sense, 2022 reminds us of 2020. Both vintages are drinking very well young, even if they can also keep for decades, of course.”

Reviews

“Here’s a very classic Mosel Spatlese with exactly the combination of richness, elegance and delicacy that makes this category unique. Such delicate white peach and sliced pear, rose and honeysuckle aromas. Very long finish that is as succulent as it is refined. You just want to linger there for as long as you can. Drink or hold.”

“The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese #22 was selected in "two to three parcels of old vines," Katharina Prüm explained. The nose still has a touch of yeast, and underneath, it shimmers almost with the crunch of a green but red-cheeked apple. The palate is utterly fine. This seems weightless and light, with the most serene balance of sweetness and freshness, coming across as effortless, unforced, with a subtle savoriness in the distance, waiting to make itself more felt in the future. For now, there is a gentle yet precise notion of white peach, tenderly sweet and utterly balanced. Supreme. Available at auction: 360 bottles, 12 magnums. (Medium)”
