The Winery
Joh Jos Prum
Since 1156, the Prum family has called the village of Wehlen in the Mosel appellation of Germany home. The Prum estate that we know of today was established by Sebastian Alois Prum, but wasn’t until several decades later that his great-grandson, Joh. Jos. Prum, began the estate and by 1920 it grew to world recognition. The 33.5 acre estate is planted to 95% Riesling and has an annual case production of around 13,000 cases.
Tasting Notes
- WA94–95
- The 2006 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule offers gardenia, orange blossom, apple jelly, and honey in the nose. Malt and peach join the floral and apple essences on the palate, which alternates silken and buttery textural expressions. Acidity is not at all obvious here, but its presence is felt in balanced sweetness and in finishing penetration and energy. Malt, butter cream and flowers linger in the empty glass. Range: 94-95 Points
- WS93
- A delicious auslese, revealing a fleeting range of lime, slate and spice flavors allied to a gossamer texture. Built on a light-weight frame, this layers itself seamlessly to a lime-tinged aftertaste.
