THE FINE WINE REVIEW
Claude Kolm, Kalifornien, Oktober 2018
“2017 Willi Schaefer â This selection of wines constitutes a new first for me: I donât believe that Iâve ever tasted through a range of several wines from a producer and given each one an A+ rating. ⊠So if you are fortunate enough to see these wines, you need to jump on them immediately⊔

MOSEL FINE WINES
âThe Independent Review of Mosel Rieslingâ
by Jean Fisch and David Rayer, Issue No 41, June 2018
“⊠The very strict selection made by the Estate costed it dearly in terms of yields. But this paid off massively in terms of quality. Simply put, the 2017 collection by Willi Schaefer is awe-inspiring and possibly the finest ever. The wines all shine through huge complexity, purity and intensity yet retain elegance and precision. The real problem will just be to find some bottles⊠”

“The hustle to bring in the grapes as pristine as possible has been rewarded here in 2017, as the entire range is absolutely stellar, very long and productive lives for all of the 2017ers from Weingut Schaefer⊠The 2017 vintage has produced some great long-distance runners at Weingut Willi Schaefer and this is going to be yet another great, great vintage for Christophe and Andrea Schaefer and will rival the very best of the wines produced in the last decade or so, which is saying something, as this winery has been on quite a roll since the turn of the new millennium!”

We are very happy about being rewarded with 4 âred grapesâ!
“⊠Perfekt, das heiĂt fĂŒr die Schaefers vor allem: Harmonie⊠Genau dies zeichnet die Weine der Familie aus.: eine SĂŒĂe, die immer diskret bleibt, tatsĂ€chlich nie âlauterâ wird, auch nicht mit steigenden Oechsle-Graden. Die Weine vibrieren unglaublich am Gaumen, zart und doch voller Kraft, immer getragen von einem feinen, prĂ€zisen SĂ€urefaden⊔
