Prüm – The Prüm name has been synonomous with quality wine production in the middle Moselle for generations. The family has been cultivating vineyards and producing wine in the region since 1156.
The vineyard´s namesake, Sebastian Alois Prüm (1794-1871), had seven sons of whom only Mathias (1835-1890) married. He owned 17 ha in the middle of the 19th century which was the largest privately-owned wine estate on the Moselle at the time.
Mathias also had seven children - naming his third child after his father,
Sebastian Alois Prüm (in 1877-1959). Sebastian expanded his family´s heritage and established the winery in 1911. His second-oldest child, Raimund (1923-1971) continued his Father´s work and so it has progressed through subsequent generations to the present day.
Since 1971 the estate has been managed by Raimund Prüm, the third generation. He is often called the 'Red Prüm'. Raimund made the estate to what it is today: one of the most prestigious wine estates in Germany with international success and deep roots in wine making.
Since the 1st July 2017 his daughter
Saskia Andrea Prüm is now the first female in the history of the Prüm Family to be responsible for the wine estate, and again where the "S.A." initials in the name are used!
