The 2019er Graacher Riesling Feinherb comes from the Himmelreich, and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar. It proves quite restrained at first and does not reveal much beyond some faint notes of smoke, herbs, and spices. After some airing, delicate notes of green apple, grapefruit, lime, and white peach kick in and add to the overall feel of freshness and tightness. The wine proves superbly balanced on the palate, where some creamy and lightly fruity elements are superbly wrapped into zest and spices. It leaves a dry-tasting rather than fully off-dry feel in the magnificently long, pure, and vibrating finish. This great example of a light-footed, just off-dry wine has depth and concentration. This great success now simply needs a couple of years to fully develop its aromatic complexity.
