Winemaker Notes
The 2022 Joh. Jos. Prüm Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett is a charming Mosel white that opens with delicate floral aromas and vibrant fruit notes of ripe peach, lime, and citrus zest. On the palate, it shows a graceful balance of sweetness and acidity, with a creamy texture that makes it approachable even in its youth. While it may lack a touch of tension compared to cooler vintages, it remains elegant and expressive, offering refreshing minerality and a long, clean finish — a wine to enjoy now while waiting for more structured vintages like 2021 or 2023 to mature.
About Winery
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of Germany’s most iconic Mosel wineries, founded in 1911 by Johann Josef Prüm after the division of the larger S.A. Prüm estate. The Prüm family, however, had already been established in Wehlen for centuries, with records of their winemaking presence dating back over 400 years. Johann Josef’s son, Sebastian, was instrumental in shaping the estate’s reputation during the 1930s and 1940s, developing the distinct style of elegant, mineral-driven Rieslings that became their hallmark. After Sebastian’s death in 1969, his son Dr. Manfred Prüm took over, further elevating the estate’s global prestige. Today, the winery is managed by Manfred alongside his daughter Katharina Prüm, continuing the family tradition of producing world-class Rieslings from legendary Mosel vineyards such as Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, and Bernkasteler Badstube.
