In most vintages, there are two Spätleses made from the Domprobst vineyard, #5 & #10. These are not barrel distinctions but rather an indication of the style. #10 is the wine that leans in the “crunchier” direction while #5 shows more opulent fruit and richness.

"The 2023 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #5 is intense and dense on the nose that shows super ripe and partly overripe tropical (mango) fruit yet less of the finesse of the Domprobst slate, at least at this early stage. On the palate, however, comes the energy and stimulating phenolic bite of the Domprobst, paired with a generously lush texture. The acidity is savory yet not as fine and playful as the Spätlese #10, but the wine has substance, length and complexity. Some prefer the #10, while others might opt for this one. It should be interesting to taste both wines again after 10 years. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024."
