2017 Willi Schaefer Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett

The 2017 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett offers an intense and yeasty bouquet of ripe and fleshy Riesling intertwined with delicate slate aromas. The 2017 was aged on its lees until the end of April due to the high acidity level. The wine reveals an elegant, lush and sensual palate with a lovely texture and a fresh, crisp and mineral-vital finish with mineral structure, lingering salinity and finesse. This is an energetic Himmelreich that drinks perfectly with food rather than without. It's too serious as an aperitif. Tasted in March 2019. Review Date: June 2019
