The Story
Willi Schaefer are not known for their dry (trocken) Riesling's, but they do make them when conditions are met and they are happy to do so when they have the grapes! Fresh apples and pears and other cool orchard fruits, this is clean and light with a fresh, crispy acidity. More on the minerality and the slate. Produced in the large neutral oak barrels as usual, racked a little earlier, then kept on the fine lees all the way through to bottling in April. [#intro]A refreshing 'dry' expression of Riesling from one of the greatest producers in Germany...[/intro]
