Prüm’s 2015 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is clear, intense and flinty on the nose, very precise but well concentrated; however, it is the most reductive of the Spätlese quartet. Round and piquant, with a stimulating fruit and salinity, this is a very well-defined, crystalline and straight Spätlese of great finesse and elegance. It needs five years or so to unfold all its talents, but it can surely age for 20 or 30 years. 93 points, Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
This was the first – among very few – wines in the 2015 Prüm lineup to lead with a bit of yeasty fermentative “Mosel stink,” but that veil soon parted more than sufficiently to showcase an alliance of ripe honeydew melon with cassis, grapefruit, and hints of cress and lemon peel that subsequently lend incisive, piquant invigoration on a delicate, polished, infectiously juicy palate. Penetrating and sharply focused, but without its efficacious and enlivening acids turning at all aggressive, the tinglingly, refreshingly citric yet soothing and cooling finish serves up a shimmering array of stony, smoky, alkaline and crystalline nuances. 94 points, David Schildknecht, vinous.com
The 2022er Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Spätlese Klaus (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from fruit harvested on 60-year-old vines in the prime Gross Schock sector of the vineyard and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. Still very reductive […]
Add to cart Producer: Hofgut FalkensteinLavish aromatics with yellow peach, lime, apricot, white flowers, grapefruit, lavender and mint. Full bodied, juicy, with waves of flavour, complexity and detail. Decadent, every sip revealing different facets and nuance. The acidity is perfect, balancing the sweetness, and driving the carry. One of the very best Mosel spatleses. Waters Wine Co “Let yourself be […]
Add to cart Producer: Julian HaartThis is a wine that is always an impressive performer and represents top value for the asking price. Pretty scents of white flowers diffuse. Old school lemonade surges with a green apple drive. So fresh, there is a hint of cucumber in the midst too. Soft, talc feels roll out to a long and refreshing […]
Add to cartAromatic, kummel like herbs, kaffir lime, kiwifruit, green apple and damp leaves. Elegant and filigreed, a wine that is very light, and opens up enormously given some time in the glass. Scintillating, racing and bracing. Mineral, zesty and salty. For all it’s lightness, it’s so complex and detailed. The best “light” white wine you could […]
