SKU #1736726 92 points Decanter

Outer quote mark Completely delicious and undeniably gulpable Rheingau traditional style Riesling from Robert Weil. Sourced from select vineyard blocks that neighbour the estate’s top vineyard sites in the villages of Kiedrich and Eltville. A delicious off-dry palate meets linear aromatics of smoky lime zest, sea air and candied ginger. Juicy Meyer lemon pulp, honeyed peach and cardamom spice. A mouthwatering wine.(CP) Inner quote mark (4/2024)

92 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark Brimming with white peaches and spring blossoms, this has a wonderful juiciness, thanks to the interplay of racy acidity with a touch of unfermented grape sweetness. Spring-like freshness and good wet-stone character on the light-footed palate. Very clean finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Inner quote mark (3/2023)

90 points Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Bottled with 18 grams per liter of residual sugar and nine grams per liter of total acidity, the 2022 Riesling Tradition shows a clear and aromatic passion fruit aroma with a crystalline, rocky note. Entirely from upper sites in Kiedrich, this is a lush, savory, fruity and grippy Rheingau Riesling with persistent saline acidity and crunchy phenolic grip. 11% stated alcohol. Screw cap.

Vinous

Outer quote mark The 2022 Riesling Rheingau is the estate wine, harvested mainly in Kiedrich with small additions from Hallgarten. It was fermented in 95% stainless steel and 5% in large barrel. The nose is restrained but shows a ripe glimpse of stone fruit. The palate is slender but has restrained substance, all framed by vivid citrus. Squeaky clean and balanced, there's a lovely citric tang on the finish. The 2022 is harmonious and dry. (Bone-dry) (AK) Inner quote mark (12/2023)

Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark An alluring version, with elderflower, peach and apple flavors turning juicy and open on the succulent palate. This white is mouthwatering through the luscious, medium-length finish, showing pink grapefruit acidity and a ground ginger note. Drink now through 2030.(KB) Inner quote mark (6/2024)

Varietal:

Riesling

- While the rest of the world has often misappropriated the name--Welchriesling, Riesling Italico, Gray Riesling and Emerald Riesling are all names applied to varieties that are NOT Riesling--this exceptional German varietal has managed to maintain its identity. Perhaps its biggest claims to fame are its intoxicating perfume, often described as having honeyed stone fruit, herb, apple and citrus notes, and its incredible longevity - the wines lasting for decades. Aged Rieslings often take on a distinctive and alluring Petrol-like aroma. Within Germany, the grape seems to do best in the warming slate soils of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer. Other German regions that turn out great Rieslings include Pfalz, Rheingau and Nahe. German Rieslings are made in a range of ripeness levels. The top wines are assigned Prädikat levels to describe their ripeness at harvest. These are: Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Eiswein and Trockenbeerenauslese. Riesling has also achieved acclaim in France's Alsace, the only region in that country where the grape is officially permitted. Alsatian Rieslings are typically dry and wonderfully aromatic. Austrian Riesling is also steadily gaining praise and fine Riesling is also produced in Italy's Alto-Adige and Friuli, in Slovenia and much of Central and Eastern Europe. In the New World its stronghold is Australia, where it does best in the Eden and Clare Valleys. It is also planted in smaller amounts in New Zealand. In the US, winemakers are eschewing the syrupy sweet versions of the 1970s and 1980s, instead making elegant and balanced wines in both California and Washington State.

Country:

Germany

- Thanks to a recent string of excellent vintages and to the reemergence of Germany onto the international wine writing scene, this is a country that's hot, hot, hot! Germany is divided into 13 wine Region and produces a very wide variety of wine styles, from incredibly high-acid, dry wines to some of the sweetest, most unctuous concoctions on the planet and even a few surprisingly hearty reds. Most of the highest-quality wines are grown on steep banks along the rivers in these Region. Small vineyards are still mostly hand tended and picked, due to the difficult nature of mechanization on these slopes. White wine production accounts for nearly 80% of the total with Riesling being the most important varietal, though Muller-Thurgau is still more widely planted.
