Coming Soon - 2024 Joh Jos Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spatlese

The vineyards of Bernkasteler Badstube border those of Graacher Himmelreich. The slopes sit on a marginally shallower gradient with deeper soils than both Graach and Wehlen. A south-westerly orientation allows the vines longer exposure to the afternoon sun. Badstube typically produces wonderfully floral, delicate, and mineral-driven wines. Overall, these wines are usually slightly more delicate on the palate than their siblings from Graacher Himmelreich and Wehlener Sonnenuhr.

Other Reviews...
The 2024 Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese offers a nose that is both intensely fruity and delicately spiced, with notes of almost tropical fruits and subtle vegetal undertones. Juicy and piquant on the palate, this lush yet finely textured and well-structured Riesling develops a refreshingly cool note with a firm structure and elegant tartness. This is a fantastic Badstube Spätlese to pair with food, especially since it doesn’t actually taste sweet. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026 from AP 06 25. Drink 2026-2055.

Stephan Reinhardt - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2024 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese is so openly fragrant and shimmering with chervil, moss and a beautiful overtone of lemon balm. More air brings a fine, gorgeous, charming note of green citrus peel. The palate has a tart sweetness, like a Seville orange peel or green-tinged tangerine. The 2024 is seductive, brilliant, toned, bright, elegant and absolutely charming. Drink 2028-2055.

Anne Krebiehl MW - Vinous

This beautiful Spatlese has an extremely wide spectrum of aromas that range from garden herbs to fully ripe mandarin oranges. Then comes the very elegant, racy, barely medium-bodied palate, which has great purity and length in the brilliant finish. Limited production due to spring frost damage. Drink or hold.
