2022 Graacher Riesling Q.b.A. feinherb Willi Schaefer, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2022 Graacher Riesling Q.b.A. feinherb, Willi Schaefer

Predominantly from the Himmelreich but from different parcels than its dry counterpart, the 2022 Graacher Riesling feinherb is bright and refined on the fresh and pure nose that reveals white peach aromas intertwined with discreetly flinty slate aromas. Round and lush on the palate, this is a quite intense and textured Graacher with ripe, elegant acidity, yet it (still?) doesn't have the sharpness and precision of the dry Graacher. The finish is mouth-filling and fruity, though, and delicate in acidity, with good length. 10.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in May 2023. - Stephan Reinhardt, Mai 2023

Mosel Fine Wines - 2022 Graacher Riesling Q.b.A. feinherb, Willi Schaefer

The 2022er Graacher Riesling Feinherb is an off-dry wine made fruit picked mainly from the Grand Cru Himmelreich. It offers a nice nose of pear, mirabelle, herbs, and spices. The wine proves nicely juicy and packed with tart zest on the palate and leaves a superb sense of precision and elegance in the finish. The touch of ripeness is superbly packed into zesty elements in the aftertaste. 2027-2037. - Juni 2023
