About The Wine
This is the estate's 'Ortswein', or 'village wine', which is the Kiedricher part of the name, Kiedrich being the historic village location of winery and vineyards. And when we say historic... founded in 907 AD.
Linear, concentrated dry Riesling, with ringing, integrated acidity. More on the stonefruit spectrum with nectarine, peach flavours among the citrus cut. Excellent ageing prospect.
Fruit is from the younger parts of their three classified sites, and some first-pick old vine material. One third of the cuvee was raised in large Stockinger wooden casks.
About Robert Weil
Weingut Robert Weil is one of Germany's, and the world's greatest white wine producers, focusing on just one grape variety - Riesling.
The estate was founded in 1867 by Dr Robert Weil in the beautiful village of Kiedrich, on the north side of the Rhine River, in the historic Rheingau region. Today, the estate is run by the fourth generation Wilhelm Weil, who meticulously oversees 90 hectares of Riesling, and wine releases across all sweetness formats.
Their greatest sites can be found in the foothills of Taunus mountains, the three famous vineyard sites of Kiedricher Turmberg, Kiedricher Klosterberg and Kiedricher Grafenberg.
These are epic wines, particularly the GG Grafenberg, and recent vintages are some of the best ever.

From The Importer
The fruit here comes exclusively from the top, classified sites of Klosterberg, Turmberg and Gräfenberg. It's an assemblage of “younger” vine material (relatively speaking—the average age of the vines is 30 years) as well as first picked parcels from these sites. The style is archetypal Rheingau and Kiedrich in particular; a harmonious alliance between ripe citrus and lush white stone fruit, with deep-rooted minerality and a framework of ripe acidity.

Critic Reviews
"A very classic dry Rheingau riesling with plenty of mineral depth, packed in a rather sleek body. Delicate white-fruit aromas with some yellow-peach and floral notes. Long and precise, dry finish, the freshness of which pulls you back for more." - JamesSuckling.com

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
