 Joh. Jos. Prüm needs no introduction to Riesling lovers, having already become a Mosel icon during the nearly five decades during which its namesake’s son Sebastien was in charge. Katharina Prüm has been active alongside her father, Manfred, since early in the new millennium, and the two of them perpetuate a house style that has itself become a Mosel archetype: wines of delicacy and restrained sweetness, and can be marked in youth by yeasty and otherwise fermentative aromas.
Their longevity is legendary, and the Prüms personally don’t care to drink their own wines – even the Kabinetts – with less than a dozen, and usually many more, years in bottle. The aromas of youthful Prüm wines make it obvious that fermentation here is entirely spontaneous. These are uncompromising, benchmark Mosel wines.
Katharina Prüm is very happy with her 2016s and explained so in The Wine Advocate,
“I like the wines a lot! It's a very attractive vintage that jumps straight from the glass into your nose. The wines took a lot of time to develop the pleasant and digestible character they have today. The fruit is lovely now, and there is a fine salinity in the mineral finish. The 2016s are moderate in alcohol but intense in taste. I find it difficult to compare 2016 with other vintages.“
Fun Fact: The Prüms have called the village of Wehlen home since 1156!
Quantities are very limited.
