Joh. Jos Prüm was founded in 1911 and has been in the Prüm family for several generations. Today, it is under the leadership of Dr. Manfred Prüm and his daughter Katharina Prüm. This is a perfectly sweet Riesling made from botrytised grapes grown in the famous Sonnenuhr vineyard in Wehlen. Auslese Riesling wines have excellent aging potential, and their flavours continue to evolve over time.

Vinous
(from cask) Prum calls this wine typically somewhat reserved vis-a-vis the Graacher Auslese but I apprehend a level of sheer flavor intensity that goes beyond the other wines here today, with apple, honey and spice supported by a volatile esterous note of botrytis and even a prickly Eiswein-like whiff of chili pepper. Impressive custardy richness in the mouth, yet ripe, refreshing citricity keeps the wine dynamic and salty minerality helps extend the finish. (In the interest of full disclosure I pass on Prum explanation that this is one of three or four comparable lots of Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese which will be bottled separately. There will be gold capsule bottlings as well.) 2 stars.
