Domprobst is a steep enclave inside Graacher Himmelreich. It's weathered Devonian slate under a deep, clay-rich topsoil, on a 45 to 75 percent slope facing south-southwest. That clay gives the wines more power: they're smokier, more mineral and more shadowy than the buoyant Himmelreich wines, they take longer to emerge, and they age more or less forever. (For the table: the name comes from the Cathedral Provost of Trier, who was owed a third of Graach's wine tithes.) To many of us, Willi Schaefer is the platonic ideal of Mosel Riesling: just 4.2 hectares, nothing but Riesling, and winemaking guided by taste rather than analysis, from picking each plot through natural-yeast fermentation. Some years the estate bottles several separate Domprobst Auslesen, and the wine number in the A.P. code is how you tell them apart, so \"#10\" marks one specific 2007 bottling, made before Christoph and Andrea Schaefer took over in 2015. The whole estate makes only about 2,900 cases a year, so aged sweet Riesling from Schaefer rarely comes our way.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50524937879609,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-1-1","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Willi-Schaefer-Graacher-Domprobst-Auslese-AP-10-2007-Dessert-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1790154044","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/willi-schaefer-graacher-domprobst-auslese-ap-10-2007","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
