95 / 100"This wonderful Mosel Kabinett has a wide spectrum of white tree fruit, wild berry and herb aromas. Impressive concentration on the very focused light-bodied palate. I love the racy acidity and pronounced slatey minerality that is wrapped around the very long and clean finish. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett has the slightest crackle of flint on the shy nose. Fennel and nutmeg appear before orange peel joins in. The palate is light, with a lovely, smooth, lithe backdrop of sweet mandarin and clementine. The 2022 is tart, sweet, ripe, aromatic and rather serene with just a touch of zestiness. Lovely length and much charm. (Off-dry)"

"Cooler in tone than the more sun-kissed Wehlener Sonnenuhr, this delightfully stony, crystalline wine highlights the Mosel's mineral intensity. Light as a feather yet bracing with lemon-lime acidity, the palate highlights ripe but pristine flavours of green apple skins, fresh celery and yellow plums. Just a hint off-dry and kissed with flint, it's a revitalising, spry wine that's welcoming young but cellarworthy too."

Tasting Notes
A beautifully smoky and herbal nose made of vineyard peach, mirabelle, damson plum, and vineyard peach.
The wine coats the palate with ripe, clean, and juicy fruits and leaves a beautifully energetic, zesty, and superbly focused feel in the very long, mineral, and tightly knit finish. This gorgeous Kabinett now just needs a couple of years of patience to integrate all its elements and reveal all its nuances.
