Willi Schaefer Graacher Riesling Feinherb 2011
The bouquet offers up scents of apple, lime zest, a touch of white cherries, petrol, lovely slate tones and a delicate top note of violets. On the palate the wine is medium-full, long, pure and succulent, with the slightly higher level of residual sugar giving the wine a real juicy character at the core. The finish is long, beautifully balanced and shows fine framing acidity to keep the wine bouncy and vibrant on the back end.

The larger body and a greater opening will allow a better perception of complex aromas of mature white wines. Structured and mature white wines will be properly emphasized in the mouth because of the straight opening which will direct the wine to the sides and to the back of the tongue, and finally reaching the tip in order to properly evaluate its roundness. |
