- TASTING NOTE: “Cool and restrained nose with delicate aromas of herbal and old-fashioned apple varieties. Well-structured on the sleek light-bodied palate, in spite of the moderate acidity (in the Mosel context). Long, refreshing finish with white tree fruit and summer berry notes. Drink or hold.” 93 Points - Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
- ABOUT THE WINE: Bernkasteler Badstube is the southern-most of the vineyard sites that appear on a J.J. Prum label, bordering the southern edge of the Graacher Himmelreich site. The Bernkasteler Badstube slopes are on a marginally shallower gradient, with deeper soils than the Graacher and Wehlener, while the western orientation allows the vines longer exposure to the afternoon sun. The Badstube typically produces a wonderfully floral, delicate and mineral wine. Overall, the wines are usually slightly more delicate in structure and weight when compared with the wines of Graacher or Wehlener but they are wonderfully racy and fine examples of the middle Mosel. Of the levels of sweetness in the Pradikatswein classification, Kabinett is the lightest style, produced from the least ripe grapes compared to the Spatlese and Auslese level wines.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The J.J. Prüm estate was founded in 1911 by Johann Josef Prüm. The 13.5 hectare estate includes some 70% of ungrafted vines - because the phylloxera louse cannot survive in the slate soils of the Mosel. Dr Manfred Prüm has led the estate since 1969, with his daughter Katharina now running the winery. Unique amongst producers in the Mosel for it's style and quality, it is the great sites, old vines, the lowest yields, very late harvesting and selection of only the best berries that distinguishes the wines of J.J Prüm. In the winery the winemaking is as natural as possible with as little intervention as possible. The wines typically need several years to start showing their best and can live and develop for decades.
