2021 Robert Weil Kiedrich Grafenberg Riesling Spatlese

Think about everything you love about this grower’s Spatlese, and then add some more. A wine of sublime purity and chiselled tension, the 21 offers up a kaleidoscopic array of flavour—try all kinds of citrus, quince, sweet yellow florals, woody herbs and slatey notes—all perfectly balanced by thrilling, daisy-fresh acidity and mineral precision. Weil’s picking army—which numbers up to seventy strong—has worked its magic again, gifting a beguiling, pure and tangy wonder that seems to dissolve in the mouth. The 9% alcohol comes in very handy: it’s impossible to stop drinking.
