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.
An extreme first half year with remarkable temperature variations and well-above average rain challenged the vines a lot. Despite a sunny August and September, the grapes ripened at leisurely pace, promptingthe estate to start harvest only very slowly on 10th of October. Very calm weather conditions in the following weeks allowed to continue and to finish in mid of November.
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, predominantly single pale, fermentation in stainless steel with wild yeast
