"This Spätlese can easily be cellared for several decades—a gem of great purity that’s a must-have for your wine cellar!"
“This wine exudes aromas of ripe lemons enhanced by a hint of red currants. It is lively and elegant on the palate, with medium body and beautiful clarity. Its purity and brilliance are striking. The finish reveals notes of melting ice and Amalfi lemon. Drink now or cellar. ” (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:
The 2023 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is very intense and open, with a complex, briny nose reminiscent of crushed slate, as well as ripe, intense, and dense citrus aromas intertwined with notes of lemon. Round and refined on the palate, this is a lively and flavorful Riesling, with a firm, mineral structure and floral aromas leading to a complex, youthful finish. This Spätlese should be aged for at least 5 years. Declared alcohol content: 8%. Natural cork. Tasted at the winery starting January 24, 2025. 2030–2070

Wine rated (2024 guide) 17/20
About the wine:
Open and fragrant, with citrus and peach aromas, as well as a more savory/herbal smoky note—subtle, yet adding complexity. The 2023 vintage seems to exhibit less of Prüm’s classic smoky/mineral reduction. Katharina Prüm suggests that this is sometimes the case in a fruitier vintage like 2023. Creamy and caressing, light and harmonious. Subtle, enticing, and long. 2026–2036
Vinous
Wine rated (2024 guide) 95/100
About the wine:
The 2023 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese offers an aroma of yeast with a hint of flint and a subtle touch of mint. On the palate, it reveals pure notes of mirabelle plum and a delicate sweetness, with exquisite definition and a supple smoothness underscored by a note of lemon of exquisite purity. 2026–2060
