Graacher Himmelreich, Riesling, Kabinett, 2024
justerini & brooks tasting note
Lemon, verbena and black tea, with a more linear feel next to the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Salty and limey with fresh red apple, white peach and blossom. Racy and slender with a river of sharp slate minerality. Bottled at 45g/l residual sugar.

95/100Anne Krebiehl,Vinous
The 2024 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett still trembles with a little reduction, underneath, a tender apricot aroma fills out into white and yellow peach. That stone-fruited tenderness and intensity is absolutely present on the palate where horizons of peachiness and citrus unfold. At the core, however, is the purest, salty zestiness. The 2024 is a gorgeous, light-footed, intense Riesling with buffered acidity. (Off-dry)
