Willi Schaefer Riesling Trocken Gg Graacher Himmelreich 2018 750 ML

What is impressive here is how crystalline the Riesling flows over the palate. The wine, which is matured in old wooden barrels, takes time and only shows subtle lemony fruits on the palate. There is a great wine in the making that we still have high hopes for. It tastes like the house’s dry estate wine, but has much more finesse and depth.n n Producer Informationn Weingut Willi Schaefer is a Mosel wine estate based in the village of Graach in Bereich Bernkastel.
