The 2006 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Museum Release is one of the most sought-after mature Rieslings ever released from Germany. Carefully cellared by the Prüm family before release, this museum bottling offers wine lovers the rare opportunity to experience perfectly aged Mosel Riesling exactly as the winery intended. The 2006 vintage was an outstanding botrytis year, producing Auslese of extraordinary purity, balance and longevity.

Awarded 19/20 by Jancis Robinson, this is a bottle that belongs in the cellar of every serious Riesling collector.

Tasting Notes

Expect an extraordinarily complex mature Riesling with:

• Preserved lime and candied citrus
• White peach and apricot
• Orange blossom and honeysuckle
• Beeswax and acacia honey
• Slate, wet stone and smoky minerality
• Delicate botrytis complexity with remarkable freshness

Despite nearly two decades of bottle age, the palate remains astonishingly vibrant. Luscious sweetness is perfectly balanced by piercing acidity, creating incredible energy, elegance and a finish that seems almost endless.

About the Wine

Few names command greater respect in German wine than Joh. Jos. Prüm.

For more than a century, the estate has produced some of the world's greatest Rieslings from the steep slate vineyards of the Mosel. The legendary Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard is considered one of Germany's finest sites, consistently producing wines of breathtaking elegance, longevity and precision.

The Goldkapsel (Gold Capsule) designation is reserved only for the finest barrels of Auslese, representing exceptional concentration, purity and ageing potential. The 2006 vintage is widely regarded as one of the great botrytis years, and the estate chose to release this wine from its museum cellar in 375ml format after allowing it to mature gracefully under ideal conditions.

Food Pairings

Perfect with:

• Foie gras
• Blue cheese
• Peach and apricot desserts
• Lemon tart
• Crème brûlée
