The step up here is one of power rather than just sweetness. Riper and more intense is a more accurate way of describing what’s happening. The style remains pure and ultra-fine, and while the Spätlese wines revel in juicy intensity, this bracket offers more power, flesh, complexity and length.

Balance is key to understanding the quality of Prüm’s 2022 Auslesen. These wines can sometimes be tricky to understand fully when young—not so for the 2022s; they already have the wow factor. Again, there is a big step up in intensity, and the difference between the vineyards shines through even more.

With such finesse, delicacy and digestibility, these wines are typically too delicate for sweet desserts (although they can work with light, fruit-based dishes that are not overly sweet). Match them with whatever works for you, but don’t forget that this level can work very well with savoury food, matching superbly to pork, game birds, savoury tarts, roast chicken, ceviche, sausage, and venison. They are also brilliant with almost all Japanese and Chinese dishes and terrific with a wide range of cheeses. Spice and fruit-based sauces do not worry them!

Reviews

“This very concentrated and super-elegant riesling Auslese is still tightly-wound. However, it already has a very wide spectrum of subtle yellow fruit and wild flower aromas. Terrific structure behind the rich, but still medium-bodied palate. Incredibly long, slatey finish with staggering freshness that pulls you back for more of this Mosel masterpiece. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.”

“The 2022er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese offers a superbly attractive and aromatic nose of pineapple, coconut, melon, yellow flowers, a hint of marzipan, herbs, and juniper, all wrapped in a blanket of smoke. The wine proves superbly creamy and delicately smooth as plenty of finely honeyed and ripe yellow fruits and almond cream join the party. The finish has great presence and intensity in the very long and captivating finish. The aftertaste is engaging and long.”

“The 2022 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese is rather shy. The palate tingles with tangerine, ripe, rounded, aromatic, and full of tangy, zesty, sweet, ripe citrus. Wonderfully expressive on the mid-palate and with a subtle finish, full of those vivid aromatics. (Sweet)”
