Parker about Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2022
The 2022 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese is clear, fresh and flinty on the fresh and rocky, lemon-scented nose that reveals notes of crushed slate rocks. Savory and lush on the palate, this is a light, precise, fresh and crystalline, finely grippy and persistently saline Auslese with remarkable precision, crunchy minerality and a salivating, intense finish. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 26 23 in January 2025.

Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2022

The Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2022 from Joh. Jos. Prüm is an elegant, balanced wine with remarkable depth. Complex aromas of ripe peaches, dried apricots, candied lemon, and a hint of honey unfold on the nose, accompanied by subtle floral nuances and a delicate mineral note. On the palate, the wine presents a perfectly balanced sweetness, supported by precise, lively acidity. This structure lends it freshness and complexity, while the texture remains full and smooth. The long, harmonious finish reveals further aromas of exotic fruits, delicate spice, and a salty minerality. A wine with great aging potential, it is already enjoyable now and will only gain in complexity with age.
