"The Schaefer 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett is strikingly delicate and flowery, with lemon, grapefruit and apple wreathed in honeysuckle and mingled with nut oils. Polished both texturally and in terms of its impeccable balance – at 9% alcohol and therefore only modest residual sugar – this is also a little masterpiece of understatement, its sense of mineral and floral finishing impingements quite intricate but asking that you take time to commune with it."
