The grapes are fermented in 100 litre oak Fuder and stainless steel - both parts blended later to add complexity. The wine rests on its fine lees before bottling.Fragrant aromas of ripe apricots and red apples. Delicious citrus characters are balanced by refreshing minerality.

The estate of JJ Prum is a most famous one, known for delicate long lived wines. From the excellent 2012 vintage, this Graacher Himmelreich will mature beautifully.

The 2007 Spatlese are described by Hugh Johnson as magnificent and this is. A sumptious nose of spicy, citrus and yeast fruit with a racy palate of citrus and honeyed notes.

A steady gold colour with varietal aromas of citrus, pineapple and mineral notes. Zippy acidity, the finish exhibits salty notes and is very aromatic.

This late harvest Riesling from the Sonnenuhr Vineyard in Wehlen is delicious with bottle age.The fruit and acidity are combining to excellent effect. A truly wonderful wine.
