Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett 2024

$5499

Willi Schaefer is, for many, the platonic ideal of Mosel Riesling, a tiny family weingut working ungrafted old vines on the region's steepest slate slopes. The Graacher Domprobst is one of the great Mosel crus, a steep south-facing site whose blue-grey slate gives wines of cut, tension and electric minerality. This Kabinett is feather-light and only gently sweet, the kind of wine that dances between fresh fruit and racy acidity. Demand for Schaefer's wines always outstrips supply, so grab it while you can. Endlessly drinkable now, and built to age for decades.

"The 2024 Riesling Graacher Domprobst Kabinett still has a vestige of reductive flintiness on the nose. Green melon shimmers with citrus. Supreme fusion of flavors and absolute lightness define the palate. Juicy nectarine dances above slaty saltiness, creamy woodruff fringes smooth apricot, citrus encompasses all. Its acidity is absolutely buffered yet mouthwatering to the tenth degree. The 2024 emblematic of the Mosel, with exquisite intensity and unbelievable lightness. It is a dream." —Anne Krebiehl MW

"The 2024 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett #03 is deep, refined and coolish yet also a little reductive or sulfurous on the nose at this stage. Ripe white and yellow stone fruit aromas intertwine with stony and flinty notes of cold smoke, giving a superb, very sophisticated first impression of a really noble Kabinett. On the palate, this is a refined, elegant, mouth-filling but also savory, structured, enormously fresh and mouthwatering Kabinett. It is, at this early moment, a little bit more austere and stony than Himmelreich and Sonnenuhr. This is a real character that was bottled at the end of April 2025 with 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork." —Stephan Reinhardt

More about Willi Schaefer

Christoph and Andrea Schaefer don't have much land (just over four hectares), but that’s not really why their wines are so hard to get. If they had twice the acreage it would still sell out many times over. The wines are just that good – and that coveted by collectors (and drinkers!) worldwide.

In fact, they're a sort of platonic ideal of Mosel Riesling. The family is one of Germany’s great traditionalist producers, doing everything old school and low tech, but making absolute pure and marvelously complex wines – the kind that are often called “filigreed.” With lots of ungrafted old vines (phylloxera doesn't do so well in the stony slate soils) they have intense minerality, but with plenty of sun on the steep, steep slopes, there’s tons of laser-focused fruit, too.
