Joh. Jos. Prum
The Prum family have lived in or near the village of Wehlen in Mosel since 1156. The estate was founded in 1911 by Sebastian and has since strived and succeeded to produce German Riesling of the highest quality. The harvest is done very late; this bold trait benefits the wine which has surprising longevity.

Vinous (91)Pale golden yellow. Candied apricot, papaya and clove on he nose, along with a touch of honeyed botrytis. Creamy, slightly malty nectarine fruit is nicely accentuated by salty minerality on the palate. Rich but not heavy on the subtly spicy finish. |

Wine Advocate (92)Lemon, pineapple, and blackcurrant site-typically scent the Prum 2010 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spatlese and are then projected onto a palate underlain with wet stone. A faintly smoky, prickly aura of reduction doesn’t preclude one relishing this wine’s effusive, delectable juiciness. Indeed, like the bit of CO2 Spritz that typically characterizes Prum Rieslings, it somehow enhances the wines appealingly invigorating nervous energy. Salt and stone seem to be thoroughly deposited in a tongue-quivering finish. Expect this to – again in estate-typical fashion – reward 20-30 years’ bottle maturation. |
