MOSEL FINE WINES
„The independent Review of Mosel Riesling“
By Jean Fisch und David Rayer, Issue No 62 – June 2022
„… Andrea and Christoph Schaefer produced a tiny but oh so breathtaking line-up of wines in the 2021 vintage. The wines show great purity, finesse, but also huge presence and energy, and really show the best of the Mosel can offer, with lightness yet immense complexity. They are all at least great, even for both village wines. The fruity-styled wines are all modern-day classics and true majestic Mosel wines. In a word: Bravo!“

Rewarded with 4,5 of 5 points
“Was für ein tolles Weingut, was für wunderbare Rieslinge! Auch wenn das traditionelle Etikett etwas hausbacken wirkt, verbergen sich dahinter hochkomplexe und erstklassige Gewächse von besonderer Qualität. Denn Christoph Schaefer ist ein wahrer Meister der Balance; ein Winzer, der alle Komponenten so zueinanderstellen kann, dass am Ende daraus ein aromatisches Wunderwerk wird. Riesling at its best: Die blitzsauberen Fruchtnoten eifern mit einer prononcierten Säure und einer hochfeinen Süße um die Wette. Gewinner sind alle, die solche Weine trinken dürfen!”

2020 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #10 97/100
Monday, November 29, 2021
“Mind-blowing nose of cassis and forest berries with white flowers and a hint of cedar. Staggering depth, packed into a very sleek silhouette, but the brilliant acidity and enormous wet-stone freshness are even more astonishing, because they completely distract you from the natural grape sweetness for a long while. So enjoyable now, but with such a great future ahead of it. Drink or hold.”
MOSEL FINE WINES
“The independent Review of Mosel Riesling”
Von Jean Fisch und David Rayer, Issue No. 57 – July 2021
“… The combination of intense flavors and airiness delivered by Willi Schaefer in 2020 is one of the great successes of the vintage! The village wines truly shine through their airy precision, the Kabinett are airy and packed with juicy and ripe acidity. the Spätlese are subtly creamy yet also hugely animating and playful. The Domprobst Auslese shines through its subtle purity and intensity. We would just give one word of advice: The wines are still remarkably backward and truly benefit from a few days of airing at the moment. But, if finesse is your think, look no further! We were also highly impressed by the 2019er Himmelreich GL, a barely off-dry wine with a huge potential…”

Stuart Pigott: “…2020 is clearly an excellent vintage for wines of this style in the Mosel. They remind us of the excellent 2017s, but the best of them, like the Kabinetts from Willi Schaefer, are even more extraordinary…” 18. Sept. 2021
