Joh. Jos. Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Spatlese 2019

Joh. Jos. Prüm’s Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese 2019 is a classic Mosel Riesling that combines precision, elegance, and the signature Prüm finesse. From one of Germany’s most revered estates, it offers vibrant sweetness balanced by razor-sharp acidity, making it both immediately appealing and beautifully composed.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Spätlese typically shows a pale straw color with green-gold reflections. The nose is lifted and expressive, offering aromas of ripe peach, yellow apple, citrus blossom, slate, and a subtle herbal edge. On the palate, it is sleek and finely etched, with juicy orchard fruit, white peach, lime, and honeyed nuances carried by bright Mosel acidity and a delicate mineral tension. The finish is long, precise, and refreshing, with the concentration and balance to age gracefully for many years, developing deeper notes of petrol, dried fruit, and honey over time.

Production
The Bernkasteler Badstube vineyard sits on steep Mosel slopes with slate-rich soils that help retain heat and imprint the wine with a distinct mineral character. Riesling grapes are typically harvested by hand at selective ripeness, a necessity in these challenging vineyards and a hallmark of the region’s meticulous viticulture. Vinification is carried out with the estate’s customary restraint, allowing natural fruit expression, vineyard character, and balance to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts, apple tart, poached pears, or a simple almond cake, but it also shines with spicy Asian dishes, salty cheeses, or foie gras. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary for this style, though a short period in the glass will help it open up.

Producer
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the benchmark producers of the Mosel and has long been regarded as a reference point for classic German Riesling. The estate’s history is deeply tied to the region’s steep-slope viticulture, and its wines are celebrated worldwide for purity, longevity, and unmistakable elegance. Over generations, the winery has earned an outstanding reputation for producing some of Germany’s most sought-after Rieslings.
