Katharina Prm really had the elements on her side in 2024. It was a proper, old-school cool vintage across the Mosel that required an October harvest, meaning the fruit has this effortless clarity and charm that you just can’t fake. Theres no heavy, forced alcohol or blocky sweetness here, even at the Goldkapsel tier.
The blue slate walls of the Graacher Himmelreich vineyard give this beast its distinctive, punchy mineral frame. Because its a Goldkapsel Auslese, youre getting a selection of the most pristine, botrytis-affected bunches, offering a deeper layer of honeyed concentration without losing an ounce of that cool-climate tension.
That classic Prm matchstick reduction is there up front, but it yields to a stellar mix of candied citrus peel, poached white plums, and a damp, stony earthiness. The unforced grape sugars are intense but get completely sliced apart by a driving, electric line of natural acidity.
We reckon this is on par with their best releases yet, a masterclass in low-alcohol power that will live comfortably in the dark for forty years.
