Known for ethereal, elegant, and long-lived Rieslings, the estate’s reputation was elevated to iconic status under Dr. Manfred Prüm. Joh. Jos. Prüm is a founding member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), Germany’s strictest association of elite wineries. The VDP seal guarantees low yields, hand-harvesting, and uncompromising commitment to terroir expression.
