Riesling Joh. Jos. Prum Graacher Himmelreich Auslese 2005

The wine

A German gem coveted for its demi-sec profile, this Riesling has a very good ageing potential and will pair nicely with spicy dishes. At once energetic and powerful, it is distinguished by its fruity character (citrus, white fruits), salty notes, and great length. This wine can be enjoyed after 5 years of ageing…even more!

About the Producer Joh. Jos. Prum

The Joh. Jos. Prüm domaine, along with Egon Müller, is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after German domaines. It is located in the Middle Moselle Valley, one of the most northerly wine-producing regions in the world. The vines can sometimes keep their leaves right through to December and the cool climate gives the Riesling fruity and floral aromas and high levels of acidity. Joh. Jos. Prüm belongs to the VDP - Die Prädikatweingüter, a prestigious association of Germany’s finest wine producers. His Rieslings are equally magnificent in their dry forms – Kabinett trocken, Kabinett – and sweet strong iterations (Auslese, Spätlese, and Trockenbeerenauslese). Each cuvée preserves the outstanding freshness which is typical of the Mosel-Saar region.
