The famous wine estate Joh. Jos. Prüm was founded in 1911 in Wehlen, on the Mosel. It is one of the most unique white wine producers in Germany.
After a very mild winter, bud break took place in the second half of April, slightly earlier than normal. Both May and June brought wild fluctuations in temperature – from plenty of rain to a hot summer. The weather turned significantly cooler in September, which was very helpful in preventing the grapes from rot. October was also cool, but rather dry, which created perfect conditions for harvest. They started picking in early October and finished on November 4th.
Wehlener Sonnenuhr („Sonnenuhr“ literally means sundial) most famous and best vineyard of JJ Prüm; deep, weather-beaten grey slate soil, extreme steepness of 70%, south-southwest exposure; wines can be aged for years to express their fine minerality and depth
grapes are hand-picked, single pole trellis, fermentation in stainless steel with wild yeast
