Joh. Jos. Prüm - Graacher Himmelreich Riesling feine Auslese Goldkapsel 1964 - 0,7 l

Joh. Jos. Prüm’s 1964 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling feine Auslese Goldkapsel is a rare, mature Mosel sweet wine from one of Germany’s most respected Riesling estates. Produced from a prized vintage and presented in the coveted Goldkapsel style, it is a remarkable collector’s bottle that reflects the ageing potential and elegance of top-quality Mosel Riesling.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a deep golden hue, with its long maturation likely contributing attractive amber highlights. The nose combines mature stone fruit and dried orchard fruit with honeyed notes, spice and the complex, developed aromas associated with aged Riesling. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, balancing its sweetness with the refreshing acidity characteristic of the Mosel. Flavours of ripe fruit, honey and gentle spice are complemented by a lingering, complex finish. At more than half a century old, this is a fully mature wine and should be enjoyed according to its current condition and provenance rather than cellared solely for further development.

Production
The wine comes from Graacher Himmelreich, one of the Mosel’s celebrated vineyard sites, known for steep slate slopes that encourage excellent ripening while preserving Riesling’s natural acidity. As a feine Auslese with a Goldkapsel designation, it represents an especially prized selection of ripe grapes from the vintage. The detailed harvesting and vinification records for this historic bottle are not provided, but the style traditionally involves carefully selected, late-harvested Riesling grapes fermented and matured to preserve both concentration and balance.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas and texture to emerge. It pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, apple tart, foie gras and blue or mature cheeses, while its balance also makes it rewarding to enjoy on its own as an aperitif. Decanting is not usually essential for an aged sweet Riesling; instead, open gently and pour carefully, with a short period of aeration if the wine appears closed. As with any historic bottle, sediment and condition may vary.

Producer
Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the landmark names of the Mosel, celebrated for expressive Rieslings from steep, slate-rich vineyards. The estate, established in 1911 by Johann Josef Prüm, has become particularly associated with wines of precision, aromatic intensity and exceptional longevity. Its bottlings from sites such as Graacher Himmelreich are highly regarded by collectors, and this 1964 Goldkapsel Auslese offers a rare opportunity to experience the estate’s historic style at an advanced stage of maturity.
