Tasting notes
The 2013 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese starts very clear and subtle on the nose where the finest slate and bright fruit aromas are displayed with a dash of lemon juice. Lean and full of finesse, yet also deep, well concentrated, nicely juicy and piquant on the palate, this sweet and piquant Riesling develops a great intensity along with a lingering, tension-filled salinity. There is a beautiful grip and lovely fruitiness in the extremely stimulating and almost drying finish, which promises excellent aging potential.

Stony grapefruit aroma. Just a little reductive, and attractively so. Riper stone fruit on the palate but still with a strong mineral edge, like a well-sharpened sword. Good fruit concentration and persistence. GV (JH)
