Tasting Notes
Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese is a very special wine. Made from hand-selected Riesling grapes grown in the vineyards of the Graacher Himmelreich in the Mosel region of Germany, this wine is bursting with flavor and personality. The grapes are harvested late in the season, ensuring maximum ripeness and concentration of flavors. This Spätlese displays a bright, golden color and a nose of stone fruits, citrus, and honey. On the palate, it is rich and round with flavors of apricots, peaches, and a hint of minerality. This wine is perfect for pairing with spicy foods, as its sweetness helps balance out the heat. It is a true expression of the terroir of the Mosel and a testament to the winemaking skills of Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm.

Scores
96 / 100"Striking nose of garden herbs with just a hint wet earth underlining the delicate white tree fruit aromas. Stunning concentration and energy on the super-straight medium-bodied palate. Very long, almost perfectly balanced finish that is surprising for this category at this early stage in the wine’s development. Great slate expression. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is rather closed. Distant fruit appears as though behind glass where you can see but not touch. The palate is a juicy, rounded but tingling picture of tangerine. Aromatic, deliciously tart but wonderfully ripe, with that scented, balancing, zesty tang of tangerine peel. The 2022 shows poised balance, sweetness, extended, aromatic length and real elegance. (Medium)"

"his powerfully concentrated yet fresh-fruited sip is a touch more inviting young than the more nervous Wehlener Sonnenuhr this vintage. Flavours of white grapefruit and green apples are intensely ripe but pure and pristine, etched by strikes of lime and salt. A delightfully fruity, off-dry wine with a kiss of tangerine sweetness on the finish. Ready now but will improve further."
