Spring flavors of slate, herbs, flowers and spicy Riesling berries open the 2012 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett and take it to a very elegant and light, palate that displays plenty of finesse and a delicate and juicy fruitiness structured by salty minerals and a nervy acidity. Bottled with 8% alcohol plus 50 grams residual sugar, the vintage’s mineral character and acidity absorbed the sweetness well. Delicious.
