In its wider sense, it includes the adjacent Saar and Rüwer (hence Mosel-Saar-Rüwer), both tributaries of the Mosel River, however it is the middle Mosel (mittelmosel), in particular between and including the towns of Bernkastel-Kues and Erden that the most brilliant wines tend to be produced. Berkastel, Grach, Wehlen, and Zeltingen are some of the most famous wine towns here. All of the vineyards of J.J. Prüm are located within this prestigious strip. The Prüm family history in the Mosel dates back as early as 1156! However Johann Josef Prüm (1873 - 1944), founded the J.J. Prüm estate in 1911. Dr Manfred Prüm has led the estate since 1969. Now his daughter Katharina is taking over the mantle. The 13.5 hectare estate includes some 70% of ungrafted vines (because the phylloxera louse cannot survive in these slate soils.) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So what is the secret is to the quality of the J.J. Prüm wines? How is it that they differ so much in style and quality from the wines of most other Mosel producers? The answer, as always, lies mostly in the vineyards, backed up by winemaking of the highest order. Great sites, old vines, the lowest yields, very late harvesting and selection of only the best berries. In the winery the winemaking is as natural as possible with as little intervention as possible. The wines typically need several years to start showing their best and can live and develop for decades. Generally speaking, the later the harvest, the longer the wine can live, so Spatlese is more age worthy than Kabinett, Auslese more so than Spatlese, and so on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e All of the vineyards of J.J. Prüm are renowned yet it is the great Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard that is the most famous. This site lies opposite the village of Wehlen on a very steep, south-west facing slope between the Graach and Zeltingen vineyards. Stuart Pigott notes; “For wine lovers around the world the Wehlener Sonnenuhr name is synonymous with great Riesling. In top vintages the site yields the richest, silkiest, most seductive wines on the Mosel. The fame of these Rieslings is inextricably linked with that of the Joh Jos Prüm estate.” Having said this, Prüm also produces outstanding wine from benchmark sites in Graach (Graacher Himmelreich), Zeltingen (Zeltinger Sonnenuhr) and Bernkastel (Bernkasteler Badstube) and it is very difficult to pick these wines apart in blind tastings – they are all exceptional. Yet they all subtly express the unique personality of the vineyard in a given year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the J.J. Prum vineyards all border each other along the same riverbank and share roughly the same soils (Devonian slate),  each site has subtle, yet important differences that results in quite distinctive styles of wine. We’ll try to address each of these below. Let’s follow each site in order from North to South starting with Zeltinger and ending with Bernkastel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eZeltinger Sonnenuhr \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard in the most northernly site and directly borders the northern edge of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Both sites are named after the sundials (Sonnenuhr) that sit amongst the vines and that are clearly visible from the other side of the river. The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr has a similar sun exposition and steepness to its neighbour, but there is less top soil (if we can use such a term in the Mosel) and the roots hit on the firm slate rock almost immediately. This means the vines have more trouble finding water which affects yields and the characteristics of the vines. Prüm’s parcel comes from a patch of 60-70 year old vines around the sundial. The wines can be very complex,with earthy, rocky and smokey notes. They can have a certain dense, less elegant personality (depending on the vintage) and their acidity often is lower. They perhaps do not achieve the same finesse as the wines from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr but they are probably more complex and can deliver wonderful, mouthfilling pleasure nonetheless. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWehlener Sonnenuhr \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard has become intrinsically attached to the name of Joh. Jos. Prüm. The Estate owns five hectares of this majestic site. It offers perfect growing conditions for the Riesling grape with its deep, weather-beaten grey slate soil, good water support, extreme steepness of up to 70 % gradient, and its optimal south-south-west exposure. As for the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, Wehlener Sonnenuhr is named after the sundial erected in the vineyard in 1842 by Jodocus Prüm, an ancestor of J.J. Prüm, to give the workers a better time orientation. The wines of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr generally possess excellent structure, show beautiful, ripe aromas and flavours (typically stone fruits, like peach, nectarine, apricot), a fine minerality and great depth and length. Especially after having been aged for some years, the harmony, finesse and expression of these wines is unique. Riesling guru Stuart Pigott has written; \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e“Joh Jos Prüm’s Sonnenuhrs are classic examples of the way in which the best Mosel wine’s natural sweetness magnifies, rather than obscures, their character. These are a perfect marriage of Riesling’s peach-like, floral and mineral aspects. White wine cannot be fresher, more vivid and delightful.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eGraacher Himmelreich \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Graacher Himmelreich directly borders the southern edge of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard. The wines from this site often often challenge those from its more famous neighbor, especially in hot, dry years. Graacher wines  attract with their racy acidity, a pronounced minerality (that reminds of crushed rock) and slightly different fruit aromas and flavours (more in the citrus spectrum). Often, the wines become accessible slightly earlier than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr and are deliciously mouth-watering when young. Looking at the vineyard conditions, the hill faces slightly more westwards than the  Wehlener Sonnenuhr , i.e. it has a more south-west exposure, it is a little less steep and has deeper soils which act as excellent water reservoirs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBernkasteler Badstube \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bernkasteler Badstube is the last of the vineyard sites that can appear on a J.J. Prum label. This vineyard borders those of the Graacher Himmelreich on the latter’s southern edge. The Bernkasteler Badstube slopes are on a marginally shallower gradient, with deeper soils than the Graacher and Wehlener, while the western orientation allows the vines longer exposure to the afternoon sun. The Badstube typically produces a wonderfully floral, delicate and mineral wine. Overall, the wines are usually slightly more delicate in structure and weight when compared with the wines of Graacher or Wehlener but they are wonderfully racy and fine examples of the middle Mosel.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"joh-jos-prum-bernkasteler-badstube-riesling-auslese-goldkapsel-2011","title":"Joh Jos Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese GOLDKAPSEL 2011","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe aromatic complexity is something to behold; floral notes, green papaya and cactus lead seamlessly to a forceful yet shimmering and energetic palate.

His idea at the time, however, was not to create a world-renowned vineyard designation. Jodocus Prüm was involved in numerous social projects, and in donating the sundials, his practical aim was to make it easier for the local winegrowers to orient themselves to time. The theme of time plays a central role in the wines from Joh. Jos. Prüm. For one thing, the winery is not impressed by trends and fads – for decades they have cultivated their own style and refined it with focused dedication, without being influenced by the prevailing zeitgeist. The main focus is on the care of their approximately 22 hectares of vineyards, ensuring an optimal environment for the grapes to ripen and allowing the vines to age healthily. Furthermore, the wines possess almost endless aging potential, continuing to develop and improve over decades, especially the Auslese wines. They achieve the remarkable feat of developing ever greater depth and finesse without losing their freshness. The wines from the Zeltinger vineyard are no exception – you could confidently buy a bottle now for your unborn grandchild to give them on their thirtieth birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage is another highlight in the history of great wines from this vineyard – the only tragedy being the limited quantity. As is customary, the grapes are harvested by hand, and fermentation is spontaneous in stainless steel tanks with extended aging on the fine lees. The result is a true marvel of finesse and elegance. On the nose, it takes a little while for the opulent, exotic aromas to fully emerge. It begins almost shyly with yellow stone fruit, white peach, white blossoms, and delicate honey. With aeration and time, lychee, mango, and pineapple follow. The cool minerality of wet slate is quite pronounced, a harbinger of the wine's magnificent freshness from the very first sniff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the finely composed fruit basket gains distinctive citrus notes of orange peel and pink grapefruit. The balance is impressive, from the initial contact on the tip of the tongue to the end of the long finish, where aromas of meadow herbs and Earl Grey tea still linger. Once again, in this complex masterpiece from Prüm, the interplay of sweetness, acidity, and minerality is in a class of its own. Powerful and with incredibly precise aromas, and above all, and most importantly: simply wonderfully drinkable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis selection from Zeltingen pairs superbly with fruity and spicy Thai curries, sushi, classic desserts, and cheeses, but is also excellent on its own as a final sip after a meal or as an accompaniment to a cigar.
