Description

Seaspray and brine lend savoury nuances to penetrating flavours of sun-drenched white peach and honeydew. Augmented with small proportions of botrytised grapes, it's a steely, breathtakingly elegant wine marked with spice and whispers of tea tannins on the finish. Light as a feather yet powerful and pure, it's just starting to shine and will reward cellaring for decades. 98 points -  Decanter
Here’s a great Mosel classic that’s just beginning a life that will stretch decades into the future. So much jasmine and honeysuckle that it’s hard to believe this is a rich wine with plenty of natural grape sweetness. Wonderfully delicate floral-honey flavors on the silky and filigree palate that has expertly underplayed power. Super-long finish with tantalizing succulence. 97 points - James Suckling
The 2020 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese (Gold Capsule) is finely concentrated and deep on the clear and crisp, even refreshing and discreetly phenolic nose that adds a spicy and coolish, even slightly greenish nuance. Lush and round on the palate and running down the throat immediately, this is a savory, dense and very elegant Auslese, with a salty, grippy and salivating, long, concentrated and irresistible finish. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. 98 points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
