Willi Schaefer

Although 2007 brought the earliest budbreak and flowering in memory, coupled with an Indian summer, Willi Schaefer and his son Christoph hardly began to harvest before November. Instead of the usual 100 days between flowering and harvest, their vines enjoyed between 130 and 170. I thought this estate had underperformed earlier this decade after doubling its vineyard holdings to ten acres, but the last couple of vintages have been notably better, with 2006 outshining 2005. The 2007s are about as good as anything I can remember tasting here. In spite of their seductive style, which makes them so easy to drink, these are serious rieslings that provoke meditation.
