This famous winery was founded in 1911 by Johan Josef Prüm and in 1920 his son Sebastian started working in the family business. JJ Prüm is without doubt the winery with the most famous riesling wines with almost priceless versions in between (in the overview of 50 most expensive wines in the world is number 5. Joh. Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerauslese with a price around 10,000 euros!!

The Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese from Prum is an absolute beautiful wine with a drinking window until 2090+. The wine is full of apple and pear essences shrouded in notes of honeysuckle and lily. The Prüm Riesling Spatlese Wehlener Sonnenuhr is very delicate and has a silky texture. This is a unique and so beautiful Riesling. Beautifully slightly chilled as an aperitif, but also recommended with white meat. The statement of Stephan Reinhardt of the Wine Advocate (Parker) is very beautiful: "This is impossible to spit, as the crystalline acidity is so delicate and interwoven with the fruit and texture of this persistently salty beauty"

This version is a half bottle of 0.375 ltr

 

Vineyard for 2021 Joh Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese

Weingut Prüm (Weingut Johan Josef Prüm) is a winery with a rich history, the roots of the Prüm family have been in the Moselle area for more than 800 years. In 1911 this famous winery was founded by Johan Josef Prüm and in 1920 son Sebastian started working in the family business.

Son Sebastiaan is the founder of the, to this day, recognizable style for which Prüm wines are praised worldwide. Sebastiaan Prüm died in 1969 and on behalf of his sons, Dr. Manfred Prüm and younger brother Wolfgang Prüm, presided over it. Today, the winery is managed by Manfred and his daughter Katharina Prüm.

The house has completely focused on the renovation of the Riesling. Most of the vines are not grafted, this was not necessary because the Phylloxera louse cannot survive among the slate on which the vineyards are grown. Depending on the harvest, Prüm produces between 10,000 and 13,000 boxes annually. The vineyards cover an area of 22 hectares in Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr and Bernkasteler Badstube respectively.
