About the Producer

The S.A. Prüm estate, located on the banks of the Mosel River, boasts a rich winemaking history dating back to the 12th century. Raimund Prüm, a pioneer of dry Rieslings, led the estate for many years and built its international reputation. Today, his daughter, Saskia A. Prüm, continues the family tradition of producing exceptional Mosel Rieslings. 

Vineyard and Winery

S.A. Prüm exclusively cultivates Riesling grapes on the steep slopes of the Middle Mosel. These vineyards are characterized by the region's iconic steep slopes and slate soils. They are among the best sites in Germany, benefiting from excellent sun exposure and a favorable microclimate. S.A. Prüm values old vines, including ungrafted (original rootstock) Riesling vines planted by their ancestors, some dating back to 1905. 

The grapes are harvested by hand, typically in mid-October. After a gentle crushing, the juice undergoes a slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This process is crucial for preserving the fresh and youthful character of the Riesling. Fermentation typically lasts for four weeks. Following fermentation, the wine may undergo a period of aging on fine lees in old oak barrels (fuder), enhancing complexity and depth, before bottling. The Solitär Riesling Trocken is bottled under screwcap, a closure chosen to preserve its fresh, youthful character.
