Note di degustazione
Scents of apple, pineapple and Meyer lemon anticipate the tart-edged and brightly citric impression subsequently conveyed on a buoyant, silken, subtly glossy palate. Hyacinth perfume adds quite seductive inner-mouth appeal. The finish is vibrantly tingling and animating, delivering infectious juiciness and suggesting a shower of stone crystals.

The 2017 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese is still discreet and yeasty on the elegant, intense, well-balanced and promising nose. Lush and generous on the palate, it has almost exuberant fruit but fine and persistent mineral acidity that takes it to a long, promising finish. This is another rather food-friendly Spätlese whose sweetness is reduced or beautifully balanced by the excessive mineral terroir character. The 2017 is still a baby straight from the bottle, but it's worthy of cellaring with pride for two or three decades. Tasted in March 2019.
