Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Joh Jos Prum 2009

Welcome to Corney & Barrow Login

Shimmering gold, this is inviting from the outset. The nose evokes a sense of tropical richness, a honeyed blend of papaya, lychee and cantaloupe melon refreshed by floral, perfumed notes and hints of citrus. The palate mirrors the aromatics presented by the nose, all set within a luxuriously-textured, silky palate which adds compote of Williams pears and crushed slate minerals to the ensemble. It is the balance which is key here, never allowing the taster to lapse into languid reverie as the palate is simultaneously embraced and teased by the combination of innate opulence, focused minerality and refreshing acidity sublime really.
