Joh. Jos. Prüm - Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese 1964 - 0,7 l

Joh. Jos. Prüm’s 1964 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese is a remarkable example of mature Mosel Riesling, combining the character of a historic vintage with the precision for which this celebrated estate is known. At more than half a century old, it offers a rare opportunity to experience the evolution of an Auslese-level Riesling, where fruit, sweetness and acidity have developed into remarkable harmony.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a luminous golden colour, deepened by its long bottle age. Its mature bouquet reveals layers of ripe orchard and stone fruit, honey, dried fruit and subtle spice, with the complexity expected from a well-preserved Riesling of this age. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rounded, balanced by refreshing acidity and a long, persistent finish. As with any wine from 1964, its condition and remaining potential depend greatly on provenance and storage, but a well-kept bottle should be approached as a mature wine to enjoy now.

Production
Produced from Riesling in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, Bernkasteler Badstube benefits from the steep, slate-influenced vineyards characteristic of the Middle Mosel, where cool conditions help preserve the grape’s defining acidity. The Auslese designation indicates a wine made from selectively harvested, particularly ripe grapes. The precise vineyard selection, harvest details and vinification methods for this historic bottle are not specified.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C to allow its mature aromas and balance to unfold. It would pair beautifully with foie gras, pâté, mature cheeses, fruit-based desserts and refined dishes featuring poultry or lightly spiced Asian flavours. Decanting is not always necessary for an old Riesling; instead, open it carefully and taste first. If sediment is present or the wine seems initially closed, a gentle decant shortly before serving may be appropriate.

Producer
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the most respected names in the Mosel, with a long-standing reputation for producing elegant, age-worthy Rieslings from the steep vineyards around Bernkastel and Wehlen. The estate is particularly admired for wines that combine concentrated fruit and noble sweetness with vibrant acidity, allowing them to develop gracefully over decades. This 1964 Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese reflects both the historic character of the vintage and the enduring quality associated with the Prüm name.
