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.
Harvest started on 19th September and finished on 22nd October. We were able to produce Kabinett, Spätlese and Auslese. Although it was not a high-botrytis vintage, we were pleased to be able to select two Goldcapsules – one in the Bernkasteler Lay and one in the Graacher Himmelreich - and one Long Goldcapsule in the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr.
To summarize, 2022 was one of the warmest and driest on record, with unusually low amounts of rain between March and early September. We did a lot green harvesting to destress the vines and improve not only the quality of the grapes of the current vintage but also to ensure the vines’ long-term health.
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
