S.A Prüm is a family-owned wine estate nestled on the banks of Germany’s serene Mosel River, at the heart of the country’s celebrated Mosel-Saar-Ruwer growing region. Here, the Prüm family has cultivated vines for over 200 years. The estate has been in the hands of Raimund Prüm, owner and winemaker, since 1971 when he assumed full management. Under his leadership, the property has become one of the region’s most successful wineries, boasting an international reputation for the production of exquisite Rieslings.

Production Area
This estate-bottled, single-vineyard Riesling is produced from grapes grown in the prestigious Graacher Himmelreich vineyard in Germany’s middle Mosel region. The soils in this vineyard are comprised of blue/gray slate. The vines are an average of 60 to 70 years old, are ungrafted (original rootstock), and reach up to 50’ deep.

Grape Varieties
100% Riesling

Vinification
Grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed. After extended maceration on the skins (to lower acidity and round out the structure of the wine) and a fermentation with wild yeast, the resulting wine was refined in stainless steel tanks then bottled.

Color
Bright, vibrant gold with green reflections

Bouquet
Stone fruit (such as white peaches, apricots), lemon, pineapple.

Taste
Stone fruit flavors round out a full-bodied, balanced, exquisite wine with distinct mineral and flint nuances.

Alcohol
7.5%

Serving Suggestions
Delicious with lobster, shrimp and spicy Thai-style dishes, as well as blue cheeses, creamy cheeses, apple pie and fresh fruit
