Joseph Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese 2010 0.75l

Joseph Prüm Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese 2010 0.75l is a creation that listens to the Mosel through the lens of absolute purity and the laws of the soil: old vines grow on slate slopes that seem to suggest where the wine finds its energy, while the hand-selected, late-harvest Riesling grapes have unleashed an intense and controlled aromatic ripeness. The Joseph Prüm winery, one of the historic names of the Mosel, is born from the legacy of a family that has built a winemaking lexicon based on precision harvesting, patience in aging, and trust in the intrinsic character of the fruit. From this vision, a winery has emerged that favors minimal intervention, leaving room for the natural dynamics of the must and slow evolution in the bottle. The production philosophy translates into meticulous care: rigorous selection of grapes in the Badstube vineyard, spontaneous fermentation, aging that can extend over long periods, and a maturation that enhances aromatic density without obscuring the crisp acidity that supports the wine's longevity. Against this backdrop, the 2010 Auslese stands out for its profound minerality, a pictorial interplay of aromas ranging from white peach and ripe apricot to hints of honey, citrus zest, and floral notes, complemented by an undercurrent of wet stone and petroleum typical of Riesling. On the palate, a sweetness is beautifully balanced by a crisp acidity that restores energy, tension, and a persistence that invites a long sip. This wine occupies a prominent place in the producer's portfolio as the ideal expression of mature vintages, capable of accompanying moments of contemplation and transforming a simple tasting into a reading of time, from its birth in the vineyard to its evolution in the bottle. In line with STELT's positioning, this wine embodies a vision of rigorous elegance, authenticity and longevity, a choice for those seeking depth and identity in the Moselle terroir.
