Weingut Prüm (Weingut Johan Josef Prüm) is a winery with a rich history. The Prüm family's roots lie in the Mosel region for over 800 years. This famous winery was founded in 1911 by Johan Josef Prüm, and in 1920, his son Sebastian joined the family business. JJ Prüm is undoubtedly the winery with the most famous Riesling wines, with some almost unaffordable versions among them (in a list of the 50 most expensive wines in the world, the Joh. Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerauslese is at number 5, with a price of around 10,000 euros!).

The Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinet from Prum is a magnificent Riesling. Like the Graacher Riesling from Prum, this wine has superb balance, lovely acidity with floral notes, slate, and a touch of saltiness, with a spicy, lush finish on the palate, featuring recurring slate and tropical fruit flavors. Wonderful slightly chilled as an aperitif, but also highly recommended with white meat. Only 8% alcohol and consistently highly rated by the international wine press.

  1. Roasted chicken with lemon and thyme
    The wine's fresh acidity and fruity notes complement the light smokiness and spice of the roasted chicken. The lemon accents in the dish enhance the citrus aromas in the wine.

  2. Salmon with mustard-dill sauce
    The creamy texture of the salmon and the spicy mustard-dill sauce complement the wine's vibrant acidity. The wine cuts through the richness of the sauce and refreshes the palate.

  3. Thai green curry with chicken
    The wine's light sweetness balances the spiciness of the green curry, while the fruity notes blend harmoniously with the coconut milk and spices in the dish.

  4. Goat cheese with honey and walnuts
    The soft, creamy texture of the goat cheese and the sweetness of the honey are beautifully complemented by the wine's fresh acidity and fruity flavors. The walnuts add a pleasant crunch that complements the wine's structure.

  5. Sushi with salmon and avocado
    The delicate flavors of the sushi are enhanced by the wine's mineral undertones. The wine's freshness and fruitiness complement the creamy texture of the avocado and the rich flavor of the salmon.

  6. Pasta with creamy mushroom sauce
    The creamy sauce and earthy flavors of the mushrooms complement the wine's light sweetness and lively acidity, refreshing the palate between rich bites.

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.
