WTN: Meet the Metz!

  My first Zeltinger Sonnenuhr that did not come from Selbach-Oster. I wonder how Stefan got the grapes. Anyway, it has a clear Zeltingen signature (not so rich as Wehlen, but the same basic building blocks), and the just barely off-dry palate presence recalls the Selbach Ur Alte Reben bottling without that wine’s robust depth. So it’s very fine, just not quite at the level of the best bottling of the village. That’s no crime. I have several, and will keep a couple to see how they progress.

I did a double-take reading this, because I would have absolutely bet the house that you've had the JJ Prum Zeltinger Sonnenuhr wines a few times. (Though now that I say this, I'm having a hard time thinking of other producers who farm this site. Molitor's one, but I've found the wines generally meh, albeit with a small sample size.)

thought the same thing, but outages kept me from responding'
If wrong happy to host or contribute to offline to introduce David!

Good point guys. I blanked out on the Prüm wines.

I know remember what I was trying to say and did not. First dry styled Zeltinger Sonnenuhr from anyone other than Selbach.
