NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Willi Schaefer Graacher Feinherb Riesling is a delightful wine that showcases the best qualities of the Riesling grape variety.On the nose, it offers a captivating bouquet of fresh citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, along with hints of green apple and white flowers.
The initial burst of ripe fruit flavors, including juicy peach and tangy pineapple, is complemented by a zesty acidity that adds vibrancy and freshness to the wine. The medium body and smooth texture make it a pleasure to sip, while the lingering finish leaves a pleasant, mineral-driven aftertaste.
Its off-dry style makes it a great match for spicy Asian cuisine, as well as seafood dishes like grilled shrimp or scallops. It also pairs well with soft cheeses and light salads.
