Robert Parker:
“A magnificent winemaker, one of the world’s finest. Glorious, pleasurable but extraordinarily complex, savoury and compelling. Wines of purity, integrity and restraint, but understated power and intensity.”
John Gilman:
“Wines that legends are made of. One of the most serious ranges to be found in Germany.”

The 2019er Graacher Domprobst Riesling Beerenauslese was made from a selection of fully botrytized grapes. It offers a gorgeously ripe yet elegant nose of William’s pear, pineapple, honeyed peach, toffee, hay, mirabelle, tar, and fruit paste. The wine coats the palate with plenty of honeyed candied fruits, apricot and mango, but also quite some zest and intensity. The finish is very intense, almost tight, and magnificently focused. The wine starts off on the opulent side but leaves an outstanding and vibrating feel of candied citrus and tangerine in the after-taste. This is a great fruit-driven and clean expression of BA in the making!

One of the finest botrytis, floral-honey and spice bouquets that I can remember! It’s not the substantial concentration that makes this wine, rather the elegance and finesse. The intense but staggeringly fresh finish is off the scale!

Very clear and lemony botrytis and raisin intertwined with fine slate aromas. Racy-piqaunt on the first attack, this is a sweet but delicate and even filigreed BA with a frisky character. The finish is still sweet but very long and with piquancy and finesse. Should be great in 10 or 20 years. 6.5% alcohol.

Another stunningly beautiful wine and a marvellous summit for this amazing lineup. The bouquet is pure and utterly refined, a blend of white cherry, pineapple, tangerine, a hint of the yellow plum that will come with bottle age, a nice dollop of slate, citrus zest, honey, violets and a beautiful array of tropical floral tones in the upper register. On the palate the wine is refined, fullish and complex, with seamless balance, laser-like focus, a marvellous core of fruit and a very, very long, elegant and dancing finish. So refined and effortless! I would not consider opening a bottle for six to eight years as there is so much here, lurking just below the surface and waiting for bottle age to set it free!
