Nestled on the banks of Germany’s serene Mosel River, this small family estate has become one of the region’s most successful wineries, boasting an international reputation for the production of exquisite Rieslings.
Named ‘Devon’ after the vineyard’s grey slate soil that dates back to prehistoric Devonian time. Delicately fragrant with flavours of apricot and ripe citrus fruits with mineral notes. The palate is elegantly structured with pronounced mineral character imparted by the slate-rich soil.
The Prüm family’s roots in the Mosel region of Germany date back as far as 1156, making it one of the country’s preeminent winemaking dynasties. Their incredible Riesling portfolio reflects traditional winemaking practices with exceptional single vineyard-designated wines in every style. It has been in the hands of Raimund Prüm, head winemaker and Sebastian’s grandson since 1971. Under Raimund’s leadership, the property has earned a reputation as one of the most successful wineries in Germany’s celebrated Mosel wine region. In 2017, Raimund’s daughter Saskia assumed full ownership of S.A. Prüm Estate. Saskia marks the first time that S.A. Prüm is owned by a woman!
