Today, the estate is led by Dr. Katharina Prüm, great granddaughter to founder Johann Josef Prüm, who continues the family’s winemaking legacy.

Prüm Winery History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Prüm family has winemaking roots dating back to 1156, though it was not\u003cstrong\u003e until 1911 that Weingut J.J. Prüm was officially established\u003c\/strong\u003e. Johann Josef Prüm was the estate’s first proprietor, before handing the reins to his brother Sebastian Prüm in 1920. Sebastian laid the groundwork for J.J. Prüm, pioneering the strict harvesting and vinification process, and crafting one of Germany’s greatest Rieslings of the 20th century. Unfortunately, Sebastian unexpectedly passed away at age 66 in early 1969, leaving the estate in the hands of his son, \u003cstrong\u003eDr. Manfred Prüm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Under Dr. Manfred, J.J. Prüm rose to legendary status on a global level thanks to \u003cstrong\u003eexceptional vintages 1971, 1976, and 1990\u003c\/strong\u003e, and consistently produced top wines in mediocre vintages. During this time, J.J. Prüm became known for its affordable wines that could last in the cellar for decades, most notably crafting the \u003cstrong\u003eGold Capsule BA and TBA bottles\u003c\/strong\u003e that rivalled top German wines from Donhoff and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/collections\/weingut-keller\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Keller Riseling\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eKeller\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDr. Manfred spent the next few decades in charge before training his daughter, Dr. Katharina, who has been the proprietor since 2003. Dr. Katharina was a lifelong lawyer with no winemaking experience, though she formally took over beginning with the 2007 vintage. The top winemaker claims to continue the Prüm legacy, rather than making any drastic changes to the long-lived estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWeingut J.J.

Consequently, the Prüm winemaking team harvests from late October to January of the following year, which allows the fruit to fully ripen and develop botrytis. The fruit’s intense sweetness is also enhanced by the vine’s location, planted on the steep, Southern-facing slopes and receiving maximum amounts of sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Kabinnett, Spatlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese (BA), and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) are picked in order of ripeness, before undergoing spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Next, the Prüm winemaking team follows a minimal-intervention vinification, raising the wine in stainless steel tanks of large oak casks called Fuder. Lastly, the wine is aged for 5-10 years, with the Spatlese aged for as long as 20-40 years. According to most critics, \u003cstrong\u003eJ.J.

Creamy and buoyant on the palate, it caresses and seduces with suggestions of lemon chiffon and vanilla flan, but then leaves a surprisingly adamant, stony, subtly zesty finish as if to put the taster on notice that there is a lot more here than meets the palate at such a youthful juncture.\" Jun 2009\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWS93 \"Floral, peach, lime and herb aromas and flavors really sing in this elegant, silky Riesling.

In a sense, the best wines in this year’s collection are like Prum-squared in their distinctiveness and expressivity. Manfred Prum acknowledges good reasons for the widespread comparison of 2007 with 2004, and thinks the present vintage also shares the richness of 2005. Notoriously little attention is paid at this address to dry-tasting wines, and I was unfortunately not able to taste either a Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spatlese trocken or a Bernkasteler Badstube Spatlese feinherb. Nobly sweet wines which I have not yet tasted include Wehlener Sonnenuhr auction Spatlese, gold capsule Auslese, and Beerenauslese; a Graacher Himmelreich long gold capsule Auslese, and a Bernkasteler Badstube Eiswein.\" Published: Jun 29, 2009","brand":"Joh.
