The history of the Pruem family
Prüm – The Pruem name has been synonomous with quality wine production in the middle mosel for generations. The family has been cultivating vineyards and producing wine in the region since 1156.

The vineyard´s namesake, Sebastian Alois Prüm (1794-1871), had seven sons of whom only Mathias (1835-1890) married. He owned 17 ha in the middle of the 19th century which was the largest privately-owned wine estate on the Moselle at the time.
Mathias had seven children - naming his third child after his father, Sebastian Alois Prüm (in 1877-1959). Sebastian expanded his family´s heritage and established the winery in 1911. His second-oldest child, Raimund (1923-1971) continued his Father´s work and so it has progressed through subsequent generations to the present day.
The vineyard is now maintained by Raimund Prüm, also known as "the red Prüm" .

The estate
Deep down a narrow staircase is our old vault cellar which is always worth a visit. Here our wines can mature in perfect climatic conditions before they're bottled.
In this cellar you will find our noble Riesling wines: pefection in the glass. This is also home to our traditional oak barrels named Fuder. Made from local oak, these have a capacity of 1,000 litres and have been used for wine production for more than 60 years. These barrels do not impart an oak flavour to the wines as you would find with modern barriques, but instead provide a subtile microoxidative

The building itself is more than 100 years old. Here in days of yore one stored the grain harvest and preserved tools and feed for the cattle. Today there are more than 200 square metres under the attic which serve as a popular place for wine tasting, culinary experiences and a playground for many other events. Wedding celebrations take place here, and even Hugh Johnson has enjoyed a Riesling under this roof.
Our vineyards the basic of quality
The vineyards managed by S. A. Prüm are exclusively planted to Riesling on 13 hectares of the best vineyards in the steep slopes of the middle mosel.
