WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Joh. Jos. Prüm emphasizes a hands-off approach to allow the vineyard's character to shine. Grapes are gently pressed, and fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled, cool temperatures. This method is designed to preserve the natural fruit profile and high acidity characteristic of Mosel Riesling. The residual sugar is carefully managed to achieve the Kabinett classification. Wines are typically aged in stainless steel before bottling, with a philosophy that prioritizes purity and elegance. The estate is known for producing wines with significant aging potential.
