Tasting notes
The 2019 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese is precise, fresh and pure on the nose that displays notes grated lemon rind and crushed stones. Round, piquant and juicy on the palate, this is an utterly refined yet sustainable and firmly structured Spätlese with dense and vibrating fresh Riesling fruit whose sweetness is well-compensated by mineral grip, salinity and tension. 7.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 08 20 in June 2010.

AP number 08 20. RS 70 g/l. There's a little graininess somehow on the nose, something I have found before on wines from this vineyard (cf Wehlener Sonnenuhr). Very juicy palate attack – just chock-full of ripe but restrained fruit. Lovely already on the palate. What the heck is not to like? (JR)
