Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese**

Similar to illustration
No. 25

Die goldene Mitte der drei Himmelreich Auslesen. Am Gaumen spüren Sie die saftige, konzentrierte Frucht und das Spiel der Säure. Die höheren Öchslegrade entstehen hauptsächlich durch den Wasserverlust der Trauben am Rebstock am Ende Reifezeit. Eine Konzentration von Zucker und Extrakten lässt den Wein komplexer und voluminöser werden.

Wie alle restsüßen Rieslingweine, insbesondere die edelsüßen, hat die Auslese eine hohe Lagerfähigkeit. Das heißt sie eignet sich auch sehr gut zum Lagern für spätere Anlässe wie runde Geburtstage, den Geburtsjahrgang des Kindes oder Hochzeiten.

Graacher Himmelreich

The Graacher Himmelreich (Graacher heaven) can be found high up on the slope above Graach and is classified by the VDP as a Große Lage. In many areas not quite as steep as the Graacher Domprobst, the locations do not differ much. Because of the topography, the Himmelreich is microclimatically favored. The vineyards are very sheltered from wind and frost, with optimal exposure to the sun.

The ground is very deep and crossed by water veins. A high proportion of clay minerals paired with the profundity produces very strong and broad-shouldered wines, which also bring a high minerality with graceful elegance.

Since most of our vineyards are located in the Graacher sites, the spectrum of our wines ranges from racy dry to golden-yellow Trockenbeerenauslese. Convince yourself of the top class of the site.

 

 

Riesling Trauben und Mosellandschaft

Riesling

Riesling is the most important German grape variety and at the same time our hobbyhorse. Riesling reflects the terroir like no other wine - in all consistency, in all flavors. And this is exactly what makes the cultivation of Riesling as a grape variety and the production of Riesling wines so fascinating and exciting. The Riesling enables us to bring the character of a vineyard into the bottle with all its facets and this is exactly our passion.

The Riesling as a grape variety prefers climatically cooler wine-growing regions like the ones we have on the Mosel. Generally, the Riesling is a slowly ripening grape variety (in the 80s the Riesling is often not fully ripened). On the steep slopes of the Mosel you will find optimal conditions for achieving physiological ripeness, in which the intensive aroma formation takes place. The steep slopes have a very good orientation to the sun, which favors the ripening process in months of September and October. On the other hand, the slate stores the daytime heat very well and releases it back to the vines at night. The Mosel as some kind of heat store does the rest.

Our Mosel Rieslings convince with a fine citrus-fruit aroma and balanced sweet-acid play. The wines have received numerous awards and are of exceptional quality. Our spectrum of Riesling ranges from racy dry wines to the liquid gold from the steep slopes, the Trockenbeerenauslese.

Auslese

At this stage we usually only produce our fruity and noble sweet wines. In special vintages there is also semidry Auslese. In addition, the Großes Gewächs corresponds to a selection in the dry area. The wines have an animating fruit-sweet-acid game and a distinctive fruit aroma. In the glass they usually present themselves in intense colours and have a long finish. The Prädikat Auslese is supplemented by up to three stars, which indicates the significantly higher quality compared to the minimum requirements of the wine law.
