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

Joh. Jos. Prüm’s 1964 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese is a remarkable expression of mature Mosel Riesling, drawn from one of the region’s celebrated vineyard sites. With more than six decades of bottle age, this rare German sweet wine offers collectors a chance to experience the depth, balance and longevity for which high-quality Mosel Riesling is renowned.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a deep golden hue, possibly with amber reflections that reflect its long evolution in bottle. Its mature bouquet combines ripe peach, apricot and citrus with delicate mineral tones, honeyed nuances and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is richly textured yet lifted by the refreshing acidity characteristic of the Mosel. Layers of preserved fruit, honey and gentle spice lead into a long, persistent finish. At this age, it is fully mature and best enjoyed now; further cellaring will depend greatly on the bottle’s storage conditions and provenance.

Production
Bernkasteler Badstube is a renowned Mosel vineyard, known for its steep, slate-rich slopes and a cool climate that helps Riesling retain its characteristic freshness. Auslese wines are made from selectively harvested, exceptionally ripe grapes, often with some influence from noble rot, and fermented to preserve the balance between natural sweetness and vibrant acidity. The extended bottle maturation of this 1964 vintage has allowed the wine to develop its complex tertiary character.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the mature aromas to open in the glass. This Auslese would pair beautifully with fruit-based desserts, apple or apricot tart, crème brûlée and blue or washed-rind cheeses; it can also be enjoyed on its own as an elegant aperitif. Decanting is not usually essential for an old Riesling, but careful decanting may be worthwhile if sediment is present. Handle the bottle gently and allow the wine a little time to breathe before serving.

Producer
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the most respected names in the Mosel, celebrated for producing refined Rieslings from steep, slate-dominated vineyards around Bernkastel and Wehlen. The estate is particularly renowned for wines that combine graceful sweetness with precise acidity and exceptional ageing potential. Its historic bottlings, including mature Auslese wines, remain highly sought after by collectors of classic German Riesling.
