Parker about Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 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.

Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 2022

The Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 2022 from Joh. Jos. Prüm impresses with its vibrant freshness and refined elegance. Aromas of juicy apricot, white peach, and ripe apple unfold on the nose, accompanied by delicate citrus notes and a cool, mineral slate spice. On the palate, the wine is precise and balanced, with a wonderfully stimulating acidity that harmoniously integrates the delicate fruit sweetness. The texture is silky and light, with a dancing lightness typical of Graacher Himmelreich. The long, delicate finish is characterized by juicy stone fruit, a hint of herbal spice, and a saline minerality. A classic Mosel Spätlese Riesling with great aging potential, already offering great drinking pleasure.
