{"product_id":"willi-schaefer-graacher-domprobst-auslese-ap-09-2004","title":"Willi Schaefer, Graacher Domprobst Auslese AP #09, 2004","description":"This is a twenty-year-old Auslese from Graacher Domprobst, the Schaefer vineyard known for making you wait. Domprobst is the smokier, more mineral and more shadowy of the estate's two Graach sites, and it takes longer to come around than Himmelreich next door, which is livelier and more floral. Its weathered Devonian slate sits on clay, over a large water table. To many of us, Willi Schaefer is the platonic ideal of Mosel Riesling. It's a family estate dating back to 1590 that makes only Riesling, from 4.2 hectares of steep slate with ungrafted vines up to a century old. The Schaefers' many small plots differ from one another, so they often bottle several wines from the same vineyard and Prädikat in one year. The only way to tell them apart is the wine number tucked into the A.P. code, and that's what \"#09\" means here: one specific Domprobst Auslese bottling from 2004. (The estate only began tying numbers to fixed styles with the 2015 vintage, so don't read any more into it than that.) The estate makes about 2,900 cases a year, so mature sweet Riesling from it doesn't come our way often.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50524940697657,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-9-1","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/template-bottleimg.jpg?v=1788376405","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/willi-schaefer-graacher-domprobst-auslese-ap-09-2004","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
