Willi Schaefer 2018 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spatlese #5 1.5L

Discover the pinnacle of Mosel Riesling craftsmanship with Weingut Willi Schaefer’s 2018 Domprobst Spätlese AP #5—a rare gem celebrated by critics worldwide. This exceptional wine earned a flawless 94/100 rating from both John Gilman and James Suckling, who hailed its profound complexity and age-worthy potential. Crafted from Germany’s iconic Mosel terroir, this bottling embodies the region’s signature mineral intensity and delicate fruit balance.

Unveil a sensory journey with aromas of ripe pear, green apple, and saline slate minerality, complemented by whispers of petrol and spring florals. On the palate, its precise structure reveals flinty texture and vibrant acidity, framed by a seamless core of fruit and mineral tension. While it demands patience to reach its peak (2028-2075), decanting now unlocks fleeting nuances of Japanese plums and Korean pears alongside zesty citrus brightness.

Perfect for connoisseurs seeking a cellar-worthy investment or a special occasion centerpiece, this 7.5% ABV Riesling offers unparalleled elegance and longevity. Its refined balance of power and finesse sets it apart from everyday whites, making it a standout addition to any fine wine collection. Whether enjoyed now with decanting or cellared for decades, this Mosel masterpiece promises unforgettable experiences for Riesling enthusiasts and collectors alike.
