Spring flavors of slate, herbs, flowers and spicy Riesling berries open the 2012 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett and take it to a very elegant and light, palate that displays plenty of finesse and a delicate and juicy fruitiness structured by salty minerals and a nervy acidity. Bottled with 8% alcohol plus 50 grams residual sugar, the vintage’s mineral character and acidity absorbed the sweetness well. Delicious.

Very firm, pungent nose. Extremely direct – it almost punches you on the nose! Very fine and refined with none of the grainy texture than this vineyard is soethimes characterised by. Pure Granny Smith fruit and lovely balance. (JR)
