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 remarkably cold winter summerlike temperatures in April made for a growth spurt, causing budbreak about two weeks earlier than usual. While June and July brought a good amount of rain, August and September were very dry and sunny. Despite a bit of rain in early October, this month brought above-average sunshine and moderate temperatures. This is a fantastic pre-condition for harvest, which started on October 15 and finished on November 13.
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
