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 mild, humid start of the year, temperatures dropped remarkably in February and March 2018. By the start of April, all seasons were warmer and drier in 2018 than average. A high amount of sunny, very warm days caused a fast ripening process of the grapes and a very early start of harvest in September. A beautiful range of all Prädikatwines from Kabinett to TBA was picked during the following weeks during beautiful weather conditions. Despite the fact, that 2018 was a rather hot year, the wines are not overly rich but kept a beautiful freshness and balance.
Graacher Himmelreich (“Kingdom of heaven in the village of Grach) faced more westwards, little less steep and deeper soils than Wehlener Sonnenuhr, weather-beaten grey slate soil with good water reservoirs
Picked by hand; predominantly singe pale; fermentation in stainless steel tanks with wild yeast.
