„Top 20 Medium-Sweet Riesling:
… Willi Schaefer, Graach, Mosel (Germany)
Seldom has a change of generation been so unproblematic as when Willi Schaefer passed on his vineyards to his son Christoph, not least because Christoph had exactly the same idea of racy and super-minerally Mosel Riesling as Dad.“…

„Top 20 Sweet Riesling:
… Willi Schaefer, Graach, Mosel (Germany)
The production of Christoph Schaefer may be small, and the wines therefore difficult to obtain, but these are some of the most radical and original sweet Riesling on the planet, and just like the medium-sweet wines, they are super-racy and super-minerally.“

„… Willi Schaefer ( and his son Christoph) produced amazing wines in 2013 from their 10 acres (4 hectares) of top Mittel Mosel sites. … Schaefer’s 2013 Rieslings are outstanding across the board – everyone reviewed here first rate…“

Leicht, duftig, eleganz – und mit Restsüße, so lassen sich die klassischen Rieslinge von der Mosel beschreiben. Sie sind ein wenig aus der Mode geraten.

„This is a stunning collection that the Schaefer family has crafted in 2013. This wines combine zest (without acidic hardness), plenty of Graacher aromatics, and the tell-tale light-feathered „silky touch“ which has made the success of this Estate over the years.“

„…,there is one reason these wines are so beloved. Part of it is they’re so scarce; the estate is all of 4 hectares with no desire to grow. Part of is the wines themselves; they’re silly with delideliciousness. And as crystalline as they are, as ethereally complex and limpidly clear, they have a quality of calm; they don’t fuss at you how amazing they are. They are, dare I say, affectionate; they just sit in the glass and love you. And so we love them back. –“
