J.J. Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett 2020
Pours into the glass a clear and bright watery lemon with hints of green. The delicate bouquet with very fine slate aromas along with white and yellow peach, nectarine and apricot. Underlying elderflower appeal along with signature minerality. and very fine but fully ripe and even concentrated apricot aromas. Crystal clear and crystalline on the palate, with a concentrated, even slightly jammy apricot fruit core but a firm yet filigreed structure, this is an intense, very elegant and savory, irresistible Kabinett with a serious mineral structure and stimulating grip on the finish. Superb. 8.5% stated alcohol. Brimming with fresh citrus, stone fruit,. honey and salty minerals. Very delicate and gentle, long finish on a white pepper ginger hum. Its a very juicy, racy, and precise Riesling.
Paired with asian dumplings and moroccan carrot salad. Heaven.
