Description

Succulent, white pear with melon dominates the front of the palate with a tight, clear lift showing that this wine is both of the very highest quality level and has the capacity to age very well in the cellar. The second half of the palate reveals yet more spice but with a hint of the tropics – mango and papaya. The finish marches on and on, refined, measured and very special. This is already a complex wine, but please, if you can afford it several years in the cellar first. 2024-2040+.

Critics reviews

James Suckling 93/100
This is a world away from the frankly sweet Mosel Spätlese. Instead, it begins with intense lemon and herbal character. The rather dry palate follows with a challenging acidity. Quite a tart, but mineral finish. Drink or hold. james_suckling

About this wine

Riesling

Riesling's twin peaks are its intense perfume and its piercing crisp acidity which it manages to retain even at high ripeness levels.

Weingut Joh Jos Prum

Prüm is one of the finest estates in the Mosel. Founded by Johann Josef Prüm in 1911, the winery rapidly built a reputation for its racy, pure expressions of Riesling, grown on the extraordinarily steep, slate slopes in the heart of the Mosel. Today, the estate is run by Dr Katharina Prüm who watches over 13.5 hectares of vines – including some rare ungrafted vines.
