      The Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 2024 is a finely balanced, naturally sweet Riesling from one of the Middle Mosel’s most distinguished vineyard sites. Produced by the celebrated Joh. Jos. Prüm estate, it combines the additional ripeness and concentration of the Spätlese category with the delicacy, freshness and precision characteristic of the producer. Graacher Himmelreich is classified as a VDP.GROSSE LAGE® and occupies slopes overlooking the Mosel River near the village of Graach. The vineyard faces predominantly south to southwest and is composed of readily warmed blue and grey slate soils. Natural water channels running through the hillside provide the vines with a steady supply of moisture, supporting balanced ripening throughout the growing season.

      The 2024 release displays an intense yet refined aromatic profile of tropical fruit, citrus peel, green herbs and freshly weathered slate. On the palate, generous fruit and natural sweetness are shaped by pronounced acidity, saline minerality and a firm, finely structured core. Grapefruit peel, peach and apricot flavours are complemented by savoury herbal nuances and a subtle pith-like bitterness that contributes definition. Despite its concentration, the wine remains elegant and crystalline, with its sweetness closely integrated into its mineral framework. At 8% alcohol, it possesses remarkable lightness while delivering impressive depth and persistence. The finish is long, bright and mouth-watering, carrying lemon zest, grapefruit pith and cool slate-driven notes. Its combination of acidity, sweetness and mineral structure gives the wine considerable potential for graceful development in bottle. It is an excellent companion to spicy Asian cuisine, roast pork, poultry, seafood, pâté and moderately rich cheeses.

      “The 2024 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese offers a salty wet slate aroma with a savor reminiscent of lichen and citrus peel. All about it is precise, stony, linear, crystalline and bright. You almost forget that this is a Spätlese, as its sweetness and acidity seem to be bound absolutely to the sunken salty slate that makes the mouth water endlessly. The 2024 has brilliance, poise, absolute structure and very fine bones. The finish is full of lemon zest.”

      — Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous, 95 Points

      “Juicy and well structured with quite a firm core, this makes a bold statement. There’s a hint of bitterness interwoven with the pronounced acidity to give this a firm core. Serious minerality, but also plenty of grapefruit peel and pith flavors in the long, slightly austere finish.”

      — Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com, 94 Points

      “The 2024 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese offers an intense, refined and elegant bouquet of tropical fruits, weathered wet slate and greenish herbs and grass. Very elegant and refined but also lush and savory on the palate, this is another sophisticated Spätlese that combines the juiciness and fruit intensity of the Badstube with the saline and crystalline finesse of the Graacher Himmelreich.”

      — Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 94 Points

      Joh Jos Prüm

      The Prüm family story in the Mosel dates back to 1156, beginning with was Johann Josef Prüm (1873 - 1944) who founded the estate in 1911. By the mid-1930s Johann Josef’s son, Sebastian, forged the distinctive style of the Prüm wines. From 1969, the imitable Dr Manfred Prüm would elevate Joh. Jos. Prüm to even greater heights, today the estate is run by Manfred’s daughter Katharina Prüm who watches over 13.5 hectares of vines on the harrowing slate-rich slopes of the Middle Mosel. In The Wines of Germany, Stephen Brook writes “With the rise of so many excellent winemakers in the Mosel, one might have supposed that Joh. Jos. Prüm, with its profound conservatism, might have been overtaken and left behind. Not a bit of it. The Estate remains where it has been for decades: at the summit.” Which begs the question, what is the secret to J.J. Prüm's continued success? How do they stand out among top Mosel producers? It’s all about their exceptional vineyards: old vines at great sites, keeping the lowest yields, daring but calculated late harvesting, and a careful selection of the finest berries.

      Joh. Jos. Prüm's vineyards are at forefront of the estate's success. Their holdings include vineyards - Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, Bernkasteler Lay, Bernkasteler Badstube and Zeltinger Sonnenuhr. All of these sites are exclusively dedicated to growing and harvesting Riesling grapes for Joh. Jos. Depending on the specific vintage, the average annual production of wine is typically between 10,000 to 13,000 cases.
