About
About Joh. Jos. Prüm: "Few estates in the world can claim to have maintained the highest quality standards uninterrupted for half a century and more. Joh Jos Prüm, the most famous of the many Mosel wine estates bearing the Prüm name, is one estate that can. Since the early 1920’s its wines have been among Germany’s best, Rieslings with the Mosel’s vivacious aroma and racy elegance in its highest form.” - Stuart Pigott, The Wine Atlas of Germany
“The wines, whether a modest Kabinett or an opulent Beerenauslese, are the epitome of filigree elegance: light in body but intense in flavour, exquisitely balanced and precisely tuned, and capable of the most extra-ordinary longevity. With the rise of so many excellent winemakers in the region, one might have supposed that J.J. Prüm, with its profound conservatism, might have been overtaken and left behind. Not a bit of it. The Estate remains where it has been for decades: at the summit.” - Stephen Brook, The Wines of Germany, Mitchell Beazley

Mosel Fine Wines, Issue 59
The 2020er Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese offers a gorgeous and superbly complex nose of almond cream, minty herbs, smoke, white flowers, bergamot, and smoke. The wine proves delicately juicy and sweet on the refined and almost light-weighted palate. Some zesty and spicy elements come through in the long finish to tickle to otherwise ripe and honeyed flavors of peach, pear, and apricot. It still proves on the sweet side and will require at least a full decade to reveal its true colors. 2030-2050.
