Tasting notes
The 2016 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese (AP #5) has a lovey clear, piquant and still reductive nose that indicates tremendous complexity and richness. Round, super lush and elegant on the palate, this is a beautifully balanced and harmonious Spätlese that has an even riper and more textured character compared to the Spätlese #10. Tasted March 2018.

Dusty, mineral grapefruit aroma and gently perfumed with a floral note – more blossom than perfume. Utter purity on the palate – lemon and clementine and a cool depth of fruit that becomes more ripe and apricot-like on the finish. More complexity to come. (JH)
A little bit more opulent than the two "regular" Domprobst Spätleses. Complex exotic fruit aromas, and a passion fruit and star fruit freshness that really makes this stand out in the 2016 field.
