JJ Prum

I loved the wines of JJ Prum before we got to visit in 2008. But after that it was solidified. So much so I stashed a lot of their wines away because overall, they need a lot of time.

Joh. Jos. Prüm, founded by Johann Josef Prüm in 1911. The estate owns 13.5ha of vines in total which are spread throughout some of the best vineyards in the Mosel. This is complemented by an older average age of the vines, 70% of which remain ungrafted. Low cropping, late harvesting and careful selection of berries at picking, means that only the best grapes make it into the winery, and wine making process involves as little intervention as possible to allow the final wines to reflect the vintage and terroir.
