Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese is very clear, pure and refined on the fascinating, flinty, finely concentrated and lemon-scented nose. Lush and savory on the palate, with crystalline acidity and great precision, this is a supple yet frisky as well as substantial and sustainable Auslese from the Himmelreich, and it develops a long, complex and saline finish. This is highly stimulating already, but the best is yet to come here. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023.

Winemaking
Description
Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Auslese is a wine that represents excellence in Riesling winemaking. This wine is an outstanding example of the winemaking tradition of the Mosel region of Germany. Made exclusively from Riesling grapes, this Auslese reflects the dedication of Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm's dedication to precision and finesse.
Winemaking
The Riesling grape, grown on the region's blue-grey shale soils, benefits from a comparatively cool climate that allows for a long ripening season. This results in distinctive aromatic complexity and fresh acidity. Vinification is carried out with a focus on preserving the authenticity of the terroir and grape variety. Spontaneous fermentation and careful handling in the cellar are key aspects in the creation of this wine.
Taste
Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Auslese is a wine that dazzles with its dynamism and expressiveness. On the nose, it presents an exotic and spicy bouquet, with notes of sweet oranges, citrus fruits, and a touch of minerals. On the palate, it reveals itself as a particularly drinkable Auslese. The well-integrated sweetness, reminiscent of flower nectar and ripe mango, is balanced by a vibrant acidity that brings freshness and length to the palate. This balance between sweetness and acidity is a hallmark of the wine, providing a complex and nuanced taste experience. Despite its current accessibility, Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Auslese has significant ageing potential, with expectations to evolve and further develop its complexity and depth over decades.
