Dr. F. Weins Prum 1 Items

Sebastian Alois Prüm (1794 - 1871) was the patriarch of the original Prüm estate. Since Mathias Prüm (1835 - 1890) was the only one of his six sons to marry, the estate remained undivided for his generation. In 1911, however, it was finally divided among Mathias four sons and three daughters. Anna Prüm, the youngest of the children, and her husband used their inheritance to start Dr. F. Weins-Prüm estate.

A cellar with vaulted ceilings from an old Prüm home forms the foundation for today's manor house that the couple built in 1924. It is located on the banks of the Mosel, along with the other Prüm homes and right next door to J.J. Prüm.

The estate totals 12.5 acres, most on steeply sloping terrain, and is planted 100% to Riesling. The estate is a founding member of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer V.D.P.. Almost half of the 6,000 cases of production are for export, primarily to Japan and the United States.
