2021 Raimund Prum Essence Riesling Mosel

The Prüm family has been crafting wines in Mosel since 1156—talk about dedication! Under the guidance of Raimund “The Red” Prüm, the estate has grown into one of Germany’s top wineries. Today, his daughter Saskia Andrea Prüm leads the way, blending old-world charm with fresh, modern techniques.

This Riesling comes from vines planted on steep, sun-drenched slopes in Mosel’s famous slate soils. These soils give the wine its unique, mineral-rich flavor. The vineyard’s perfect sun exposure helps create a Riesling that’s bright, zesty, and full of life.

Pop the cork, and you’ll be greeted by a delightful aroma of citrus, green apple, and a hint of peach. On the palate, this Riesling is lively and refreshing, with flavors of pear, lime, and a touch of honey. The finish is crisp and clean, leaving you wanting just one more sip.

This versatile Riesling pairs beautifully with everything from seafood and salads to spicy Asian dishes. It’s also fantastic with a cheese platter—the wine’s acidity cuts through the richness, making each bite even better.

2021 was a good year for this region. Wine Spectator blessed this vintage with a 91 point review, and said: "The better 2021s are terrific and will age well."

100% Riesling. Pale gold in color. Aromatic, with scents of apricot, green apple and white peach. Fresh fruit flavors perfectly balanced by a racy acidity and a fine, mineral character. Enjoy on its own or with a range of light and delicious appetizers, white meat, BBQ, seafood dishes, perfect with Asian cuisine and all styles of spicy food.
