Riesling Spätlese Graacher Himmelreich 2017

- 94 points -

The 2017er Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is made from fruit harvested at under 90° Oechsle from very old un-grafted vines in the Goldwingert part of the vineyard. This still quite reductive wine only gradually reveals its gorgeous nose made of smoke, vineyard peach, almond cream, minty herbs and spices. The wine rewards one with magnificent creamy and sappy peach as well as well-integrated candied grapefruit driven acidity on
the superbly playful palate. The finish is ethereally light and multi-layered. This is a great light-feathered Spätlese.
