Joh Jos Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett 1.5L MAGNUM 2022

Joh Jos Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett is a Mosel Riesling from the Graach slope, made in the low-alcohol, long-lived style the family has held to for over a century.

Graach sits between Bernkastel and Wehlen on the steep left bank of the Mosel, and the Himmelreich lies on deep grey Devonian slate carrying rather more clay than its neighbours, which tends to give wines with flesh as well as tension. Joh. Jos. Prüm has been based at Wehlen since 1911 and is now run by Katharina Prüm, working to a house style that has changed very little. Fruit is picked in successive passes so that each parcel comes in at the intended ripeness, whole bunches are pressed gently, and fermentation runs with ambient yeasts in stainless steel before stopping of its own accord, leaving the grape's own residual sugar. Kabinett is the lightest of the Prädikat levels, picked at modest must weights and finishing at around eight per cent alcohol with a delicate thread of residual sugar; the power builds steadily across the estate's sites from Bernkastel through Graach to Wehlen.

Mostly drunk young but good for five to ten years and more; serve at 8-10°C as an aperitif or with sashimi, tuna tartare, or lighter Asian dishes.
