Description

If you’re looking for an introduction to the elegance of German Riesling, this is where you start. The Robert Weil estate in Kiedrich has been setting the standard in the Rheingau for more than a century, and even at this entry level, the quality is remarkable.

The 2022 Trocken is sourced from Weil’s high, breezy vineyards around Kiedrich, including the stony slopes of Sandgrub and Wasseros. Fermented mostly in stainless steel with a small touch of large oak, it captures everything that makes Rheingau Riesling so distinctive - bright citrus and green apple, a whisper of spice, and that pure, slatey minerality that runs through the finish.

It’s crisp, dry, and beautifully balanced, drinking perfectly now but built with enough backbone to age gracefully for a few years. A textbook Riesling from one of Germany’s great names.

This cuvée is a blend of fruit from Weil’s high-altitude sites dotted around the village of Kiedrich. These vineyards include the brilliantly named Sandgrub vineyard and there’s also a good dollop from Wasseros, a steep, southwest-facing vineyard that abuts the Gräfenberg vines. The soils of these sites are typically composed of stony, fragmented phyllite interlaced with loess and loam. At this level, the wine is vinified in stainless steel with roughly 5% fermented in large oak.
