Willi Schaefer is iconic for so many reasons, firstly, the recorded history of the winery goes back to 1121. Second, they’re so scarce; the estate is all of 4.2 hectares with no desire to grow. This is a benchmark for the Mosel and the wines are coveted not just by collectors, but by other growers.
Willi Schaefer’s wines aren’t made by numbers or analytics but by taste and feel and that shows through in crystalline, ethereally complex wines.
Try this method yourself, don’t get mucked up in what the wine is, where it’s from, what the alcohol or sugar levels are…just taste it and I think you’ll find it’s F-ing superb.
