The Spectacular <strong>Wine</strong>s<br />
of Joh. Jos. Prûm<br />
}<br />
“Prüm has been the great name in the Mosel since the 16th century. Manfred Prüm<br />
owns the finest of the family vineyards and his wines are legendary. He is openly secretive<br />
and no one is allowed in the cellars. When asked what his secret is, he replies, ‘quite<br />
simple - perfect grapes.’ Prüm has some of the best sites in Mosel (close to the river, where<br />
the mist encourages botrytis), a dedicated, experienced team in the vineyards, and original<br />
ungrafted vines over 100 years old that are trained so as to reduce the yield.<br />
Fermentation is in stainless steel vats, almost always with indigenous yeast and the<br />
wines are disturbed as little as possible to allow the natural carbon-dioxide to retain their<br />
freshness. Sadly, today the general demand is for last year’s Rieslings, but it is criminal<br />
to drink Prüm wines too soon. In 2003, the secondary aromas of his 1993 Wehlener<br />
Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese were in full ascendancy; with purity and filigree elegance.<br />
His wines have always captivated me, and the Wehlener Sonnenuhr lange Goldkapsel<br />
Auslesen are quite simply to die for…” Decanter<br />

Spectator<br />
#35 <strong>Wine</strong> of the<br />
Year <strong>2006</strong>!<br />
“The aroma is marked by matchstick now, but this is positively crunchy on the palate. The vibrant<br />
structure and clarity set the tone for its peach, citrus and mineral notes. It’s refreshing and alive, with a<br />
mouthwatering finish. This needs time. Best from 2009 through 2030. 1,200 cases made.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Spectator, rated 94/100<br />
“Sedate aromas of blueberry, honey, apple and mint. Pure and rich on the palate, with subtle nut oil and<br />
spice notes. Finishes with bright brown spices, succulent length and lovely lift and delicacy.” Steve<br />
Tanzer, rated 91/100<br />
“The wine bursts onto the palate with juicy fruit intensity, abundant spice, fruit skin pungency, and wet<br />
slate and salty minerality, leading to a long, eloquently thirst-quenching and lip-smackingly intense finish<br />
of apple, kiwi, black currant, flowers, and honey. This wine also exhibits a flattering, subtle sense of<br />
oiliness of texture. Look for some short term gain in clarity and then - based on a long-standing track<br />
record at this estate - two or more decades satisfying development in bottle.”<br />
