The Graacher Domprobst—home to the cathedral's vineyard—represents Mosel's most historic terroir. Willi Schaefer crafts Rieslings of remarkable finesse from the estate's steep slate vineyards, using traditional methods including spontaneous fermentation and long aging in old wooden casks. The Kabinett style offers slight sweetness and lower alcohol (typically around 10%), creating refreshment and food compatibility often lost in modern dry wines. At one year old, this 2024 vintage shows youthful primary fruit with the piercing slate minerality that characterizes the Domprobst. For those seeking to experience German Riesling tradition, this wine offers historical continuity.

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. Tasted at the domaine in January 2026 (AP 03 25).
