Jos. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett 2024

There are few wines that capture the charm of Mosel Riesling quite like this. Feather-light in feel yet packed with character, the Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett opens with scents of lime blossom, white peach, green apple and ripe citrus, all threaded through with that unmistakable smoky slate note. On the palate it dances rather than strides: a touch of sweetness wrapped around vivid acidity, with flavours of lemon, orchard fruit and a hint of nectarine gliding across a frame that feels almost weightless. The finish is long, cool and mouth-watering, leaving behind citrus zest, wet stone and a faintly floral lift.

Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the Mosel’s benchmark estates, and Graacher Himmelreich is one of its most compelling sites, often giving wines of real finesse and openness in youth. In this vintage, that signature Prüm delicacy is fully intact: the wine feels precise, airy and wonderfully pure, but with enough concentration beneath the surface to reward patience. It’s a Kabinett of poise rather than power, and a brilliant example of why this style remains one of the world’s great food wines.
