Mint & Frangipane countered by delicate fruit. A lighter intensity than typically expected from Willi, but no less enjoyable.

A lovely dessert wine, pure and crystalline, classic riesling peach, cleansing acidity and restrained sweetness. This half bottle just ended so fast.

This showed much younger and fresher than its age. While pure, fresh and in good harmony, the wine lacked the depth and complexity that I usually associate with Schaefer’s wines.
