Winemaker Notes
The 2022 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett is a beautifully refined Mosel wine. It opens with a bright, flinty nose layered with citrus, white peach, and delicate floral notes, underpinned by crushed rock minerality. On the palate, it is pure and precise, showing lush fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and a saline, slate-driven character. Despite the challenges of the warm vintage, it retains remarkable freshness, complexity, and length, finishing with a stimulating mineral persistence that makes it both food-friendly and age-worthy.
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.
