The 2019er Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese AP 11 was made from fully ripe grapes harvested with little botrytis in the Gerdsgrub sector of the vineyard. It is quite restrained and only reveals some reductive notes of smoke and aniseed herbs at first. After some airing, scents of pear, honeyed yellow peach, spices, fresh herbs, violet, and bergamot gradually join the party. The wine develops some gorgeous playful sweetness on the light-footed and delicately zesty palate, and leaves some gorgeously direct flavors of fruit basket and candied grapefruit in the finish. This joyful and fruit-driven Auslese will prove irresistible at maturity, at a decade or so.

The least botrytised Domprobst auslese this vintage, though still with a beautiful glazing. The bouquet is a gorgeous blend of pear, pineapple, a hint of the yellow plum to come, a lovely vein of slate, honey, iris blossoms and white lilies. On the palate it is deep, pure, fullish and vibrant, with a superb core of fruit, bright acids, excellent focus and balance and impressive lift on the nascently complex, youthful and very promising finish. Gorgeous wine in the making but will demand a full decade’s worth of bottle age to start to really hit on all cylinders.

Coolish, clear and fresh on the spicy, even, peppery nose, with lemon and cumquat notes. The attack on the palate is refreshingly racy. The wine is pure, transparent, light and fresh, and finishes with very stimulating lemon fruit and salinity. Pretty digestible already. 7.5% alcohol.
