This 2024 Graacher Domprobst Spätlese #5 from the legendary Willi Schaefer estate represents the third of three Grand Cru vineyard parcels the dynasty manages. Graacher Domprobst, alongside Himmelreich and Wehlener Sonnenuhr, forms Schaefer's portfolio focused exclusively on Riesling. The '#5' designation indicates the specific selection or bottling tier. Since 2015, Christoph Schaefer and wife Andrea continue the estate recognized as among Germany's greatest—a documented history tracing back to 1181 and possible viticulture to 1121. This 2024 Spätlese shows honeyed stone fruit, mineral slate character, and the soft sweetness balanced by bright acidity that defines the style. Ready to drink now or age beautifully for 12-15 years.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 97

"The 2024 Riesling Graacher Domprobst Spätlese #5 sends wet slate as its very first impression on the nose. More distant airy notions, almost of forest, moss, fern, woodruff and citrus appear above the stoniness. Lightness defines the palate which assails you like a scented cloud, bearing subtle, tempered sweetness. The 2024 is breezy, seductive and profound. All here is tender, linear and stony yet so utterly dreamy." -Anne Krebiehl MW

Robert Parker

RP 96

"The 2024 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #05 opens bright and floral on the coolish and finely slate-inflected nose that reveals lemon rind notes along with delicate Riesling aromas. Round, lush, vital and sweet on the first taste, this is a mouth-filling and dense yet delicate, even filigreed Spätlese with a fine, savory, saline and very mouthwatering finish with delicately crunchy slate grip. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork." -Stephan Reinhardt

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!
