Rising dramatically above the Mosel river, the two Sonnenuhr (sundial) vineyards, Zeltinger and Wehlener are among the top sites in the Middle-Mosel and also some of the northernmost grape growing areas in the world. Their calling card is soil rich in blue Devoinian slate and mostly un-grafted old vines. As usual, the Prüm's offerings are archetypal: stony, floral and astonishing.
