Cool pure pear flavours with a hint of yellow peach and a burst of pithy citrus are on offer here. There is intensity, elegance and balance, and the typical darker rich minerality of Graach on the finish.

 

2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett [04 19] (PRUM12218A)
Here's a perfect example of why Kabinett is all the rage again. There is so much going on: new flavours tumble over each other so rapidly that it's hard to keep pace. The fruit is playful and full-throated, a blend of floral and vibrant citrus, there are cool very linear slaty flavours and the whole is pure, melting and elegant, not to mention smoky, smooth, fine and very long. Only Mosel Kabinett can do this, because it refreshes the parts other wines cannot reach.

 

2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett [11 17] (PRUM12216A)

2015 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett [09 16] (PRUM12215A)

2018 Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese [05 19] (PRUM16218A)
Richer soils with a higher proportion of clay give a silky, delicate wine with cool mineral flavours and a soft, rich finish. It will be approachable young, and after a dumb period, open out into glorious middle age.

 

2018 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese [06 19] (PRUM18218A)
The Zeltinger wines from Prüm are a little broader than their brothers in next-door Wehlen. This is juicy, bright and very stony, the mineral power tempered by persistent floral flavours tapering to a smooth, salty finish.

 

2018 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese [07 19] (PRUM20218A)
A wine on fire: boundless energy, purity and elegance in one. A smooth, restrained elegance prevails. The fruit is floral and peachy, the backing minerality has an appealing smoky earthiness, and the finish is juicy and long.

 

2016 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese [08 17] (PRUM20216C)
Smooth, rich and vibrant, this has delightfully elegant floral and white-peach flavours interwoven with dark mineral notes. There is a long energetic juicy finish.

 

2015 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese [12 16] (PRUM20215C)
Not a trace of fat in this gloriously balanced, intense and elegant wine. There is pithy grapefruit, ripe lemon and honeyed peach fruit, and the minerality is so intense that the wine tastes almost dry.

 

2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese [08 19] (PRUM22218A)
As always, this is the finest and most effortlessly elegant of all the Prüm Spätlesen. The scented golden-yellow fruit is tightly wound, itching to unfurl but kept in check by powerful, linear slaty notes that develop smoky spicy flavours as the wine glides to a long, saline finish. An absolute cracker.
