Weingut S.A. Prum Prum Blue Riesling Trocken, Mosel, Germany 2022
The Prüm family dynasty is one of the oldest and most storied of any winemaking family in the world, with the first records of their production and vineyard holdings dating to the year 1156.
Today, S.A. Prüm is run by Saskia Andrea Prüm. An enology graduate of Geisenheim and Raimund’s oldest daughter, Saskia has extensive, global winemaking experience and is the first woman in the family’s 800-plus-year history to own and lead the winery. Raimund remains the global consultant and ambassador for S.A.Prüm managing the export business internationally along with his wife Pirjo while also managing the Raimund Prüm line of wines.
The picturesque medieval village has west to southwest vineyards which sit at an altitude of 377-820 feet asl and are composed of stony Devonian blue slate soil. The high copper content in the blue slate gives the wines backbone and structure. S.A.Prüm Blue reflects the “house style” of dry Riesling. As a VDP Gutswein (good wine) this allows for a winery’s creative freedom, philosophy and approach to winemaking. This wine’s mineral character and elegant, dry style are accented by notes of Granny Smith apples, white peach, and pineapple.
