95 Points, James Suckling

Herbs and lemon pith with rich spontaneous flavours, then green apricot and almond, still leesy and grassy with savoury apricot kernel and cereal notes on the finish.

Tasting Notes

A beautifully smoky and herbal nose made of vineyard peach, mirabelle, damson plum, and vineyard peach.

The wine coats the palate with ripe, clean, and juicy fruits and leaves a beautifully energetic, zesty, and superbly focused feel in the very long, mineral, and tightly knit finish. This gorgeous Kabinett now just needs a couple of years of patience to integrate all its elements and reveal all its nuances.

Critic Scores

This Mosel Riesling Kabinett is a miniature masterpiece of delicacy. I love the aromas of wildflowers and herbs that are married to a wealth of mineral nuances on the light- to medium-bodied palate. Although a hint of sweetness is perceptible, this has quite a firm core, yet is very filigreed at the long, pristine finish. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett initially presents a reductive funk that takes time to dissipate, allowing only brief glimpses of green apple to peep through. However, the palate is superbly sprightly, vividly light and lemony fresh, skipping along light-heartedly without a care in the world. It airily and charmingly spreads its lemony perfume and charm. A quintessential, elfin Kabinett.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Prum's Graacher Himmelreich vineyard occupies the Mosel's distinctive steeply south-westerly-facing slate slopes, where Riesling thrives in this iconic terroir renowned for aromatic precision. The slate soils retain and radiate heat throughout the growing season, extending ripening time and promoting both aromatic ripeness and noble rot development even in cooler years. The vineyard sits between 300 and 500 metres elevation on terraced slopes requiring intensive hand-cultivation and harvest practices. The 2023 vintage began cool before moderately warming through summer; 2024 delivered an early, warm growing season favouring sugar accumulation and concentrated flavour development. Prum maintains low-yield viticulture, hand-harvesting in multiple selective passes to assess ripeness and noble rot presence.

Vinification

Both Auslese (2023, 2024) and Kabinett (2023) ferment in stainless steel at controlled cool temperatures (8–12°C), preserving aromatic volatility and developing residual sweetness through arrested fermentation with native yeasts. Indigenous yeasts conduct slow fermentation over several months, building complexity and fine acidity balance throughout the fermentation. Lees contact remains minimal to retain aromatic clarity and primary fruit character. Prum bottles the wines without fining or filtration, preserving mineral tension, aromatic precision, and volatile compounds. The 2023 and 2024 selections reflect vintage character: cool 2023 emphasising bright citrus and mineral notes; warmer 2024 showing deeper stone fruit and tropical notes.
