No hype, no reinvention—just Riesling at its most poised. Willi Schaefer has long been a benchmark in the Mosel for wines that speak fluently in the language of restraint. Graacher Domprobst, with its blue slate soils and cool exposition, offers a deeper, more introspective tone than Wehlener Sonnenuhr or Himmelreich.

The #10 bottling from 2023 is delicate but assured. It doesn’t push its sweetness—it threads it. There's a lift that carries through every sip, a minerality that lingers more in sensation than in flavor. It’s Riesling that doesn't reach for anything. It simply holds its place.

This isn’t about immediacy—it’s about movement, memory, and the long arc of a great site in a steady hand.

Antonio Galloni

AG 96

"The 2023 Riesling Graacher Domprobst Spätlese #10 is what Schaefer calls his "classic, linear Spätlese" vis-à-vis the #5 Spätlese made in the same year. Wet slate and vivacious ripe citrus unite seductively on the nose. The palate adds a greenish flicker of aroma that simply enhances the vivaciousness of the elegant, full-fruited, pure citrus. It comes in like a cloud, surrounding the taster, bathing everything in its fine scentedness." -Anne Krebiehl MW

Robert Parker

"The 2023 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #10 is very clear, fresh and precise on the spring-like nose. Flavors of crushed rocks, salts and lime zest drag into the glass, and the wine, once on the palate, is full of energy and very fine raisin, even blueberry and wax leaf aromas. This beautifully balanced and silky Domprobst Spätlese is full of finesse and reveals a playful, irresistible character with perfectly ripe fruit that is like an idea of fruit rather than material on the palate. This is a subtle stunner and one day will probably be even finer than the gorgeous Himmelreich Spätlese. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork."

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
