2020 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett Willi Schaefer, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Mosel Fine Wines - 2020 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett, Willi Schaefer

The 2020er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. It offers a superb nose made of residual scents from the spontaneous fermentation, chalky minerals, wet stone, mirabelle, cassis, melon, pear, and some subtle aniseed elements. The wine is beautifully pure and airy on the palate and leaves a stunningly juicy feel in the long, subtly ripe, and spicy finish. The wine really shines through its incredible silky airiness delivered with the presence and zest of a light Spätlese. This Kabinett is truly remarkable! 2030-2050. - Juli 2021

James Suckling - 2020 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett, Willi Schaefer

So many fresh floral notes, plenty of orange zest, sage and a whiff of smoke. Juicy stone fruit and lively acidity, with very well integrated natural grape sweetness that you feel less and less as the wine flows over your palate into the delicate, wet-stone and rock-salt finish. Drink or hold. - Stuart Pigott, Sep. 2021
