Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese, Weingut Joh. Jos. Prum 2022

The 2022 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is very clear and delicate on the elegant and refined nose that intermingles very fine slate with floral aromas and bright, very elegant and refined Riesling fruit. Savory and saline on the palate, this is a round and lush, filigreed and crystalline Himmelreich with a long, salivating, saline and irresistible finish. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 25 23 in January 2025.

The 2022er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese offers a finely smoky and minty nose of slightly riper and yellow fruits, almond cream, jasmine, passion fruit, Conference pear, juniper, muscade, smoke, and a touch of licorice. The wine has good presence and animating yellow fruits mixed to candied grapefruit. The finish is slightly broader and more powerful (at least for Prüm standards), yet the aftertaste remains fine and elegant. This is a superb Spätlese. 2030-2047
