Just a gorgeous wine. The fruit is perfectly ripe, like biting into a dripping peach. The acidity is bracing and balances the richness of the wine to a perfect point. Just amazing despite being so young.

Thanks for the note David. I went way too short in 2012. I need to correct that.

Thanks! We had a few Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese 2012 (in 375s) at the winery about a year ago. Also really gorgeous, the Himmelreich sounds similar.

This winery was one of our best stops. The wines are so precise. They have only 4 hectares. The family has been in the wine business for some 900 years, we were told.

Thanks for the note. Excellent set of wines - I have not been disappointed so far.
