Graacher Himmelreich directly borders the southern edge of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard. Racy acidity on the palate, textbook Himmelreich, with aromas of citrus and stone fruit. Extra bottle age in such fine Riesling is complex with evolving secondary aromas that can keep for many years to come. Pair with pork tenderloin. The bottle was released directly from the winery as a library release.
