Each year in autumn the VDP & Bernkasteler Ring members gather in Trier to auction their 'best' barrels of wine. We have been attending since 2010 and are delighted to bring a few bottles back to sell in Bordeaux
The 2024er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese #24 (the reference to #24 is written in small on the bottom right of the label) is a sweet wine made from fruit picked in the prime Goldwingert sector of the vineyard. It proves quite backward on the nose and only reveals wet stone, cassis, grapefruit, pear, slate, and smoke. The wine proves superbly elegant on the palate and leaves a remarkably finely chiseled feel of fruits, spices, and herbs in the long finish. This will need quite some time to reveal its beauty. 2034-2054
