      The Joh. Jos. Prüm Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spätlese 2024 is a refined, naturally sweet Riesling from the distinguished Bernkasteler Badstube vineyard in Germany’s Mosel region. Produced by one of the region’s most celebrated family estates, it displays the purity, delicacy and mineral definition that have long distinguished the wines of Joh. Jos. Prüm. The Badstube vineyard borders Graacher Himmelreich and is positioned on slopes facing south-southwest and southwest. With gradients reaching approximately 65 percent, the vineyard is less steep than some neighbouring Mosel sites and receives a comparatively moderate amount of sunlight. These conditions contribute to wines that are characteristically floral, finely structured and somewhat more delicate than expressions from Graach or Wehlen.

      The grapes for the 2024 release were harvested by hand and underwent spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Spring frost significantly reduced production during the vintage, concentrating the small quantity of Spätlese fruit that remained. The wine opens with an expansive aromatic spectrum encompassing garden herbs, chervil, lemon balm, green citrus peel and ripe mandarin orange. Its palate combines juicy fruit and natural sweetness with piquant acidity, elegant tartness and a refreshingly cool mineral character. Although lush and finely textured, the wine remains remarkably precise, racy and composed rather than overtly sweet. Its barely medium-bodied structure provides excellent flavour intensity without diminishing the graceful lightness associated with Mosel Riesling. The finish is brilliant and persistent, carrying citrus peel, delicate herbal tones and refreshing acidity. It offers considerable ageing potential but can also accompany lightly spiced Asian dishes, poultry, pork, seafood and aromatic cheeses.

      “This beautiful Spatlese has an extremely wide spectrum of aromas that range from garden herbs to fully ripe mandarin oranges. Then comes the very elegant, racy, barely medium-bodied palate, which has great purity and length in the brilliant finish. Limited production due to spring frost damage. Drink or hold.”

      — Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com, 95 Points

      “The 2024 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese is so openly fragrant and shimmering with chervil, moss and a beautiful overtone of lemon balm. More air brings a fine, gorgeous, charming note of green citrus peel. The palate has a tart sweetness, like a Seville orange peel or green-tinged tangerine. The 2024 is seductive, brilliant, toned, bright, elegant and absolutely charming.”

      — Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous, 95 Points

      “The 2024 Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese offers a nose that is both intensely fruity and delicately spiced, with notes of almost tropical fruits and subtle vegetal undertones. Juicy and piquant on the palate, this lush yet finely textured and well-structured Riesling develops a refreshingly cool note with a firm structure and elegant tartness. This is a fantastic Badstube Spätlese to pair with food, especially since it doesn’t actually taste sweet. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork.”

      Joh Jos Prüm

      The Prüm family story in the Mosel dates back to 1156, beginning with was Johann Josef Prüm (1873 - 1944) who founded the estate in 1911. By the mid-1930s Johann Josef’s son, Sebastian, forged the distinctive style of the Prüm wines. From 1969, the imitable Dr Manfred Prüm would elevate Joh. Jos. Prüm to even greater heights, today the estate is run by Manfred’s daughter Katharina Prüm who watches over 13.5 hectares of vines on the harrowing slate-rich slopes of the Middle Mosel. In The Wines of Germany, Stephen Brook writes “With the rise of so many excellent winemakers in the Mosel, one might have supposed that Joh. Jos. Prüm, with its profound conservatism, might have been overtaken and left behind. Not a bit of it. The Estate remains where it has been for decades: at the summit.” Which begs the question, what is the secret to J.J. Prüm's continued success? How do they stand out among top Mosel producers? It’s all about their exceptional vineyards: old vines at great sites, keeping the lowest yields, daring but calculated late harvesting, and a careful selection of the finest berries.

      Joh. Jos. Prüm's vineyards are at forefront of the estate's success. Their holdings include vineyards - Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, Bernkasteler Lay, Bernkasteler Badstube and Zeltinger Sonnenuhr. All of these sites are exclusively dedicated to growing and harvesting Riesling grapes for Joh. Jos. Depending on the specific vintage, the average annual production of wine is typically between 10,000 to 13,000 cases.
