Description
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.

The 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett (Auction) is deep, intense yet also precise and refined on the pure and elegant nose that offers bright fruit aromas intertwined with very delicate slate and floral aromas. Very mineral and complex yet also light and filigreed on the palate, this is a highly finessed and savory Kabinett with an enormously fine and salivating finish. It's impossible to resist. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 16 24 in January 2025.
At the renowned winery in Wehlen in January, I had to taste not only the last but also the penultimate vintage, i.e., 2023 alongside the 2022. I tasted both vintages one after the other, not side by side—the 2023 before lunch, the 2022 afterwards. I don't have a favorite, even though I had thought in advance that the 2023 vintage would have an easy time against its predecessor. But far from it. The hot and dry 2022s at Prüm turned out exceptionally well, and more than once I saw the 2022 ahead of the 2023, but I can't give a plausible reason for this. In any case, Katharina and her team have produced two great collections in two very different and challenging vintages.
The year 2023 began mild and wet. March in particular brought a lot of rain, which continued to a lesser extent into the rather cool April, so the soils were well moistened, quite unlike in 2022, when it was already too dry at this point. Budding did not begin until the end of April. The mild May and hot June were rather dry months. These conditions accelerated the growth of the buds and flowering. In July, there was more rain; and temperatures rose to 35 degrees Celsius at times, but there was also a cooler period with temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius. August was similar, with even more rain and fewer warm days. In September, temperatures barely dropped and averaged 3.5 degrees Celsius above the long-term average. The harvest began very early on September 18 and ended on October 11. “As the temperatures remained warm in October and ripening progressed quickly, we made sure to complete the harvest as quickly as possible,” reports Katharina Prüm.
Prüm was able to harvest all grades from Kabinett to Beerenauslese, with the main focus on Kabinett, Spätlese and Auslese. The beautiful botrytis can be found again in a range from golden capsules to Beerenauslese. Overall, the wines of the 2023 vintage are classic in style: pure, clear, filigreed and fresh, with fine fruit ripeness, weightless elegance and stimulating crystalline acidity.
The year 2022 was one of the warmest and driest since records began and was characterized by unusually low rainfall between March and early September. This year also started with quite mild temperatures. While January was characterized by a lot of precipitation (63% above average), February already brought exceptionally mild temperatures. From March to April, temperatures returned to normal, although these months were already unusually dry.
Budding took place in the second half of April. May and June continued to be dry and very warm. Flowering took place early at the beginning of June. The weather conditions then became more extreme in July. It became significantly warmer and, above all, very dry. There were only two millimeters of precipitation in the entire month! “While temperatures normally start to drop in August, this was not the case in 2022,” says Prüm. “August was the warmest month of all.” Half of the month was over 30 degrees Celsius. Even though there was significantly more rain than in July, it remained very dry. It was not until September that the weather changed. The temperatures dropped and it started to rain—a great relief for nature in general. And according to Prüm, the rain did not harm the grapes.
The harvest began on September 19 and ended on October 22. Kabinett, Spätlese and Auslese could be produced. And although it was not a vintage characterized by botrytis, Prüm was able to sort two gold capsules, in the Bernkasteler Lay and in the Graacher Himmelreich. There is a Lange Goldkapsel from the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr.
Prüm's 2022s are surprisingly clear, taut and elegant and are not inferior to the 2023s in terms of quality, especially not the Spätlese and Auslese wines. This is possibly because Prüm carried out an extensive green harvest in the summer to relieve and preserve the vines and improve the quality of the grapes.

Wonderfully expressive nose of honeysuckle and fresh garden herbs. Juicy, light-bodied palate with creaminess, slatey minerality and very elegant acidity. Long, zesty finish with plenty of mandarin orange character. Drink or hold.

From: 2025 Germany Pre-Auctions Report: Trier & Bad Kreuznach - Sleek, Svelte and Sensational (Sep 2025)
The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett #17 is alive with a flinty reduction and a touch of slate, but it does not give much more away at this stage. The palate is beautifully citric, taut and salty. There is something strait-laced about this. It sinks deep into the blue Devonian slate of the Sonnenuhr, expressing linearity and elegance. This is unbending and so clean. It is undeniable and pure. The 2024 is utter class. (Off-dry)

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.
