Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spatlese #5 - Willi Schaefer 2022

The Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #5 by Willi Schaefer is a captivating example from the renowned wine region of Mosel, Germany. This Riesling Spätlese captures the essence of Riesling grapes grown on the characteristic blue slate of the Graach area, which imparts a distinctive minerality and palpable freshness to the wine.

The late harvest of the grapes allows for a high degree of ripeness, reflected in the wine with a complex range of aromas. On the nose, the Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #5 displays a seductive bouquet of ripe peach, citrus, honey, and subtle notes of white flowers, enriched by a slight touch of aromatic herbs.

On the palate, the balance between sweetness and acidity is masterfully achieved, offering a rich and round taste while maintaining a vibrant freshness. Citrus and peach dominate the flavor profile, accompanied by a persistent minerality that cleanses the palate, leaving a long and pleasantly aromatic aftertaste.

Ideal as an aperitif, this Riesling Spätlese pairs beautifully with fish dishes, mildly spicy Asian cuisine, or can be enjoyed as a refined wine for meditation. Serve chilled to enhance its intrinsic qualities, the Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #5 is a must-have for lovers of high-quality white wine.

The wine is presented in elegant bottles that reflect the quality and care of the winemaking process, making it a valuable addition to any wine collection or an exclusive gift for connoisseurs.
