Willi Schaefer, Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett, 2024
Weingut Willi Schaefer in Graach represents a true Mosel Riesling dynasty—a documented history tracing back to 1181, with family vineyard ownership recorded as early as 1590. Willy Schaefer took over as winemaker in 1971; since 2015, Christoph Schaefer and wife Andrea continue the tradition. The estate holds just three hectares of Riesling vineyards in legendary sites: Graacher Himmelreich, Graacher Domprobst, and Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Christoph earned 'Newcomer of the Year' from Gault Millau in 1997—described as 'absolutely without question one of greatest producers in Germany.' This 2024 Himmelreich Kabinett shows the site's light-sweet character, bright acidity, and the complexity that emerges from traditional winemaking. Ready to drink now or age 8-10 years.
