Graacher Himmelreich, Riesling, Kabinett,

Fresh, fragrant and inviting, a wonderfully fine, sunny and lacy example of Mosel, pretty fruit blossom, apple and herb characteristics The Himmelreich of Graach is a first rate vineyard, the soils are a little deeper and richer than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr and the site is little less sun-blanched. The wines as a result are often full of soft fruit and youthful charm with typically more acidity but less minerality than those of the Sonnenuhr. Harvest was at the beginning of October after an early start to the growing season, the grapes hang time was therefore long, this has resutled in what Katharina Prum considers to be a very fine and charming vintage similar to 2007 and 2009 but more savoury and mineral.
