Joh. Jos. Prum

Founded by Johann Josef Prum in 1911, this is arguably one of the finest estates in Germany with 13.5 hectares of land in some of the region’s most famous vineyards including Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, and Bernkasteler Lay.

The Sonnenuhr (“sundial”) vineyard is the most priced jewel in the Prum family’s crown. Located right across from the village of Wehlen, Sonnenuhr has south-west aspect, blue slate soils, is incredibly steep, and arguably is one of the Mosel’s finest vineyards.

The Graacher Himmelreich vineyard is lying across the Mosel River from the village of Wehlen. It is on a steep, south-west-facing slope with deep slate soils. 

The estate is situated in Bernkastel-Wehlen and is today run by Katharina Prum since 2003. The wines are mineral and pure, racy, and light-hearted yet serious expressions of Riesling with a certain elevated feel to them.

The Goldkapsel moniker is used to denote an additional level of quality within a Pradikat, such as for example Auslese, but is not regulated by German wine law. It is a kind of limited edition, best production of the vintage or lot, which is not made every year.
