Joh. Jos. Prüm - Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Eiswein - hochfeine Auslese Goldkapsel 1969 - 0,7 l

A remarkable 1969 Riesling Eiswein from Joh. Jos. Prüm, sourced from the celebrated Graacher Himmelreich vineyard in the Mosel. Presented with the prestigious Goldkapsel designation, this exceptionally rare sweet wine offers a fascinating opportunity to experience the depth and longevity of mature German Riesling from one of the region’s most respected estates.

Tasting Notes
With its mature golden hue, this aged Eiswein promises impressive concentration and complexity. The nose is expected to show layered aromas of ripe peach, apricot, honey and preserved fruit, potentially accompanied by notes of dried flowers, caramel and subtle tertiary nuances developed during its long bottle maturation. On the palate, rich sweetness is balanced by the vibrant acidity characteristic of Riesling Eiswein, giving the wine freshness and length rather than heaviness. The finish should be intense, persistent and fruit-driven. As a wine from 1969, its condition and evolution may vary, but a well-preserved bottle can offer a memorable glimpse into the ageing potential of Mosel Riesling.

Production
Graacher Himmelreich is a steep, highly regarded Mosel vineyard known for its slate-rich soils and favourable exposure, conditions that help Riesling retain its distinctive acidity while developing elegant fruit character. Eiswein is made from grapes left on the vine until they freeze naturally, allowing frozen water to be separated during pressing and concentrating the sugars, acidity and flavour compounds. The result is a naturally sweet wine of remarkable intensity. The Goldkapsel marking indicates an especially select and prestigious bottling within Joh. Jos. Prüm’s range.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This concentrated Eiswein is excellent as an aperitif or alongside fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, vanilla desserts, blue cheese and foie gras. It can also be enjoyed on its own, allowing its mature sweetness and acidity to take centre stage. Decanting is generally not necessary; instead, open carefully and pour gently, particularly if sediment has formed during its long time in bottle.

Producer
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the historic and most acclaimed names in the Mosel, with a reputation built on refined, long-lived Rieslings from prestigious vineyards around Bernkastel and Graach. The estate is especially celebrated for wines that combine crystalline fruit, pronounced mineral character and exceptional ageing potential. This 1969 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Eiswein represents a rare example of the winery’s ability to produce sweet wines capable of developing for decades.
