96 / 100"The 2021 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese is pure, refined and piquant on the clear and spicy nose. Lush and round on the palate yet with enormous salinity and tension, this is a rich yet piquant, vital and tensioned Auslese with concentrated yet vivacious fruit and spectacular salinity. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt"

"Scent of dried and candied citrus fruits, after aeration mineral tones, lime, dried apricot, complex. On the palate with fine, balanced acidity and very well integrated fruit sweetness, stone fruit, herbal spice. Still needs time."

Tasting Notes
The Rheingau wines of Robert Weil have reached well beyond cult status and today are revered across the globe as some of Germany’s most superlative Rieslings. Based in the town of Kiedrich, Weil’s wines are fuelled by the three epic, high altitude, south facing vineyards of Klosterberg, Turmberg and most famously, Gräfenberg, all situated in the foothills of the Taunus Mountains.
