Graacher Himmelreich, Riesling, Kabinett, 2022
Expressive, crispy, with Thai-spice, lime and zip, the Himmelreich Kabinett is so nervy and edgy that it really thrills. Not austere, it is positively soaked in juice and tightened up by slate, this is a lifted, delicious, classically leaning Kabinett from Katharina Prüm.
critic reviews
The 2022 Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett is quite reductive on the clear and quite intense flinty nose that indicates ripe and concentrated fruit with a spicy-phenolic touch. The wine is dense and pretty tight and provided with fine tannins and stimulating salinity. The 2022 is a vintage that needs a certain bottle age to gain in finesse. 9% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 24 23 in January 2025.
The 2022 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett has the slightest crackle of flint on the shy nose. Fennel and nutmeg appear before orange peel joins in. The palate is light, with a lovely, smooth, lithe backdrop of sweet mandarin and clementine. The 2022 is tart, sweet, ripe, aromatic and rather serene with just a touch of zestiness. Lovely length and much charm. (Off-dry)
