Parker about Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese long gold capsule auction wine 2023
The 2023 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese (Long Gold Capsule / Auction) is deep, refined and intense on the nose that reveals tropical fruit aromas along with delicate spice notes. Intense yet refined and savory on the palate, this is a rich and intense, very generous and long, savory and lemony Auslese with crunchy grip and remarkable mineral and tension-giving acidity. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 19 24 in January 2025.

Suckling over Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese long gold capsule auction wine 2023
How could a Mosel riesling Auslese be more astonishing than this breathtaking wonder? Immense concentration of dried peach, mango and tropical flower aromas. The succulence and silkiness on the medium- to full-bodied palate are no less incredible, and the almost supernatural freshness makes this so incredibly focused and pure in the endless finish. Very limited production.

Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese long gold capsule auction wine 2023

The 2023 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese Lange Goldkapsel auction wine from Joh. Jos. Prüm is an absolute rarity and an outstanding expression of this famous steep Mosel vineyard. The Graacher Himmelreich , characterized by deep, water-retaining Devon slate, lends the wines an extraordinary balance of power, elegance, and mineral freshness. The 2023 Lange Goldkapsel , filled exclusively for the VDP auction, displays impressive concentration with fascinating aromas of ripe yellow stone fruit, tropical fruits, candied lemon, honey, and a hint of saffron, supported by fine botrytis and cool slate minerality. On the palate, a seemingly endless depth unfolds: silky sweetness, crystal-clear acidity, and a beguiling lightness combine to create a harmonious work of art. The long, finely spicy, and salty-mineral finish underscores the extraordinary class and longevity of this wine. A selection of majestic radiance with enormous aging potential – a milestone in the noble sweet Riesling universe.
