Riesling Kabinett Graacher Himmelreich 2016

- 91 points -

Grapefruit, lemon, and blueberry on the nose anticipate the bright, luscious abundance of fruit on a firm palate that practically quivers with energy, leading to a zesty, tangy, invigorating, refreshing finish underlain by wet stone and marked by piquancy and chew of fruit skins and peels. As with other Richter Himmelreich offerings, this originates in the Goldwingert, a distinctive site high above Bernkastel. The vines picked for this Kabinett are old and ungrafted, and the fruit came in at 83 Oechsle, which is at the upper margin for that Prädikat chez Richter.
