| This estate has been under the direction of Manfred Prum (grandson of Joh. Jos. Prum?s eponymous founder) since 1969, and scarcely needs much introduction to Riesling lovers, having already become a Mosel icon during the nearly five decades during which its namesake?s son Sebastien was in charge. Katharina Prum has been active alongside her father since early in the new millennium, and the two of them perpetuate a house style that has itself become a Mosel archetype: wines of delicacy and restrained sweetness, often strongly marked in youth by yeasty and otherwise fermentative aromas, and tingling with dissolved CO2. Their longevity is legendary, and the Prums personally don?t care to drink their own wines - even the Kabinetts - with less than a dozen, and more usually many more, years in bottle. -David Schildknecht, Vinous |

| The Pr?m family has been making wine in Wehlen for over two centuries. The Pr?m estate began with Sebastian Alois Pr?m, whose brother, Jodocus constructed both the famous Wehlener and Zeltinger sundails (Sonnenuhr). Of his six sons, Mathias married and his son, Johann Josef Pr?m (1873-1944) founded the J. J. Pr?m estate in 1911. After World War I, in 1920, his son Sebastian began to take a more active role in the operation of the winery. Sebastian set out to produce the very highest quality Riesling wines which did in fact later achieve international recognition for their outstanding longevity. After Sebastian?s death in 1969, his son, Dr. Manfred Pr?m, began running the estate and continues to maintain an uncompromising standard in quality winemaking. J. J. Pr?m wines are among the most exciting and delicious Riesling wines of the Middle Mosel. Pr?m wines have a reputation for being long-lived because if their slow development. Dr. Pr?m suggests even his Kabinett can be cellared for up to 5 years. Pr?m wines possess full-flavored pure fruit and piquant spiciness that express the true characteristics of Mosel wines. |
