The 2023 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is very intense and open on the complex and saline nose that is reminiscent of crushed slate rocks as well as ripe and intense, dense citrus fruit intermingled with lemon aromas. Round and refined on the palate, this is a lively and savory Riesling with a firm, mineral structure and floral flavors on the complex and youthful finish. This is a Spätlese to be aged for at least 5+ years. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 07 24 in January 2025.
Open and fragrant with aromas of peachy citrus, as well as a more savoury/herbal fumy note, which is subtle but adds complexity. The 2023s seem to show less of the classic Prüm smoky/flinty reduction. Katharina Prüm suggests this is sometimes the case in a more fruit-forward vintage such as 2023. Creamy and caressing, light-bodied and harmonious. Subtle, mouth-watering and long. Drink 2026-2036. AP number 07 24.
