Historical Significance of the 2009 Vintage The 2009 vintage is considered one of the great modern vintages in the Mosel region. A warm and stable growing season allowed grapes to ripen fully while retaining the vibrant acidity that defines classic Mosel Riesling. The wines from this year are known for their exceptional balance, richness, and aging potential. Top examples from renowned vineyards like Wehlener Sonnenuhr are increasingly rare and highly valued by collectors. The Winemaker Weingut S.A. Prüm is a historic estate with over 200 years of winemaking tradition. Today, it is led by Saskia Prüm, who continues the legacy of her father, Raimund Prüm, a key figure in elevating the Mosel’s global reputation. The estate is known for producing elegant, expressive Rieslings that reflect the unique character of their vineyard sites. The Vineyard Wehlener Sonnenuhr is one of the most iconic vineyards in the Mosel Valley. Its steep, slate-rich slopes and ideal sun exposure produce wines of remarkable finesse, minerality, and longevity. The name translates to “sundial of Wehlen,” referencing the historic sundial painted on the vineyard wall. Wines from this site are celebrated for their purity of fruit, elegance, and ability to age gracefully. Wine Awards and Ratings S.A.
