— Bright and delicate bouquet with very fine slate aromas and very fine but fully ripe and even concentrated apricot aromas, clean palate, with a concentrated, even slightly jammy apricot fruit core but a firm yet filigreed structure, this is an intense, very elegant and savoury.

TASTING NOTES

Joh Jos Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2023 is a stunning expression of the Mosel Valley’s unique terroir, hailing from the esteemed Graacher Himmelreich vineyard. Nestled alongside the renowned Wehlener Sonnenuhr, this vineyard produces wines that are celebrated for their vibrant acidity and distinct minerality, often described as reminiscent of crushed rock.

This Auslese vintage from 2023 showcases a beautifully balanced profile, combining pronounced citrus aromas with the vineyard’s signature racy acidity. The slightly earlier accessibility of Graacher wines means this Riesling is deliciously approachable in its youth, offering a mouth-watering experience that is both refreshing and complex.

Known for its crisp minerality and lively fruit character, the Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese is a testament to the region’s ability to produce elegant yet powerful wines. The 2023 vintage benefited from optimal weather conditions, enhancing the fruit’s intensity while preserving the wine’s trademark freshness.

This wine is perfect for those who appreciate a refined Riesling with a distinctive mineral backbone and bright citrus notes. It pairs exceptionally well with seafood, light poultry dishes, and spicy Asian cuisine, making it a versatile choice for sophisticated dining experiences.

I love the mint and chamomile freshness that pulls you into this juicy and concentrated wine and also make it very filigreed on the medium-bodied palate. Incredible precision and subtlety in the super-long finish. Try to be patient, because this is a marathon runner. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

The 2023 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese, made virtually without botrytis from fully ripe grapes, offers a shy tone of stone and yeast. The palate features Mirabelle jelly with lovely overtones of lemon balm and fern, wonderfully cut by freshness with a pithy, zesty edge of lime and mainly pale lemon. The finish resembles lemon and yellow plum sorbet, exquisitely fresh and palate-cleansing, yet with exquisite sweetness. Incredibly fine, slender and so balanced.
