Importer Notes

Very pale yellow with pristine expression of fruit. Immediately showing great balance of sweetness and acidity, a bit creamier than the Kabinett, lovely stone fruit, very elegant with that kick from the well known Graacher acidity. Good length with a bright and mouthwatering finish.

Vintage after vintage, the Prüm family reasserts itself as an undisputed top-three producer in all of Germany. There is simply nothing like the shimmering, crystalline terroir expressions that emerge from this revered estate. Once again, the wine gods smiled upon the Mosel, as the 2021 vintage is the latest in a string of superb growing seasons, making this a line-up of unequivocal must-have cellar gems. Up and down the range, the genius of winemaker Dr. Katharina Prüm brilliantly shines through. The vintage is being roundly heralded as a return to the utterly enchanting, classic Mosel style of yesteryear, in contrast to the recent excellent, albeit warm and dry, vintages of the past several years. As Mosel Fine Wines recently declared, "2021 is a completely unique vintage with some of the finest Mosel wines we have ever tasted! Readers should plunge upon the brilliant fruity-styled wines, which have the lightness of the finest vintages ever in the region." One feature of note in 2021 is the reduced yields in the upper tiers of the prädikat spectrum—from the Spätlese category on up, allocations will be highly limited, so anyone wishing to stockpile these incredibly nuanced, filigreed wines will want to act with urgency on these first-tranche releases.
