justerini & brooks tasting note

Fresh apples and pears and other cool orchard fruits, this is clean and light with a fresh, crispy acidity. More on the minerality and the slate. Produced in the large neutral oak barrels as usual, racked a little earlier, then kept on the fine lees all the way through to bottling in April.

critic reviews

90+/100Stephan Reinhardt,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2021 Graacher Riesling trocken is coolish and pure yet also intense and provided with ripe and lush fruit intermingled with some hints of oak and a touch of banana, which fits in beautifully. Saline and crystalline on the palate, with intense, elegant and tangy fruit, this is a promising dry Riesling whose grapes predominantly come from the Himmelreich, but in this year, there are also some Domprobst kilos included. The finish is fresh and grippy and indicates crisp, just-ripe Riesling fruit. 11.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 6 in July 2022.
