Bernkasteler Lay Grand Ley Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2017, S.A. Prum, Mosel

Intense aromas fill the bouquet with concentrated fruit and a touch of minerality detectable. This is a full bodied dry Riesling with stone fruit character supported by a touch of melon and slate-like dryness to the complex finish.

The Prüm name has been synonymous with quality wine production in the middle Mosel where the family has been cultivating vineyards since 1156.

The vineyard’s namesake, Sebastian Alois Prüm (1794-1871), owned 17 hectares in the mid 19th century, the largest privately-owned wine estate on the Mosel at the time. His great grandson Raimund (1950 – present), inherited in 1971 and in 2017, passed the estate to his daughter Saskia, a qualified winemaker in the summer of 2017.

Saskia now owns the sonnenuhr (sundial), constructed by her ancestors in 1842, which gives the name to the world famous Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard.
