2015 S.A. Prum Graacher Dompropst Riesling Dry GG Grosse Mosel Germany

This is a WOW! Wine. If you’re curious about DRY Riesling from an icon producer, at a special discount, here it is. 

The Prüm family’s roots in the Mosel region of Germany date back as far as 1156, making it one the world's preeminent winemaking dynasties. Their incredible Riesling portfolio reflects traditional winemaking practices with exceptional single vineyard designated wines in every style.

The southwest facing vineyard is 426 to 853 feet above sealevel with approximately 50 to 60 percent steepness. The total Graacher Dompropst vineyard is 47 acres with S. A. Prüm Holdings at 2.5 acres. This vineyard is designated as Grosses Gewächs (Great Growth) by the Verband Deutscher Qualitäts- und Prädikastsweinguter (VDP) — the association of Germany Qualtiy and Pradikat Wine Estates.

Ageing: Fermentation in stainless steel lasted for 4 months sur lie with an additional 10 months in tank or old oak barrels before bottling.

Vibrant gold in color. Complex aromas with slate and mineral tones on the nose. On the palate, full-bodied, rich, smooth, creamy texture backed by firm acidity. Outstanding with savory meats such as duck, goose, veal and turkey, as well as rich seafood such as lobster and monkfish. Grosses gewachs.

Full bodied and dry, this is a silky, intensely penetrating sip that's studded with pristine lemon, grapefruit and lime flavors. It's lusciously ripe and concentrated, but deftly balanced against a firm backbone of acidity and layers of crystalline minerality. It's gorgeous already but will improve through 2030 and hold for even longer. ~94WE, Editor's Choice
