FROM THE WINEMAKER:
“All of our wines are 100% Riesling. The finefruit acidity of the Riesling grape and the gentle wine-making are warrants for fresh and fruity, finely structured wines with great maturing potential over many, many years. Studert-Prüm wines achieve highest awards at national and international competitions. The granting of the Trophy and Double Gold Medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in England for one of our Trockenbeerenauslese was of special importance to us.”
–Stephan Studert

EXPERTS:
“Very fresh apple and apple blossom nose, light body, a crisp acidity and a nice spritz from natural carbon dioxide (all classic kabinett attributes). Quite sweet, but the apple freshness lifts the finish very nicely. Best now or in 2018 and 2019.” –James Suckling, June 8, 2017

“One of my favourite German Rieslings! Clementine blossom on the nose followed by soft lime and white flowers. Mouth-watering acidity is perfectly balanced with just enough sweetness. Try it with glazed ham or sweet potatoes or any sauce with a touch of sweetness or chutney or salsa.” –Natalie MacLean

“The great vineyard will always deliver balance and expressiveness if you let it so no surprise that Prüm’s Kabinett is a benchmark representative of place. Sugars, acidities and texture work together and the tell tale sign of greatness is noted in how the energy travels up and down the sides of the mouth and back, only to repeat again and again, long after the wine has vacated the premises. Citrus, peach, mango, orange skin and in the end, calm beyond the controlled storm.” –Michael Godel, WineAlign.com

“Lovely fresh aromatics play in the classic ripe peach-nectarine-apple spectrum with more than a dash of florality and wet stone – this is lovely wine from Studert-Prüm. The palate is off-dry but tightly delineated and fresh, finishing on acidulated notes, giving it a dry overall palate impression. Juicy, succulent, lovely. Best after 2019, although tasty now.” –John Szabo MS, WineAlign.com
