The 2022 Robert Weil Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese (375ml) is a profoundly elegant Rheingau Riesling from one of Germany’s most iconic estates, sourced from the steep slate and phyllite soils of the famed Kiedrich Gräfenberg vineyard. Rich yet incredibly precise, the wine captures the hallmark Robert Weil style - intense fruit concentration balanced by crystalline acidity and striking mineral freshness. The nose reveals apricot, ripe peach and candied citrus layered alongside honey, saffron, wet stone and delicate smoky notes, giving the wine remarkable depth and finesse.
On the palate, it is luscious yet beautifully poised, with vibrant acidity carrying the wine effortlessly despite its richness. Layers of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel and honeyed complexity are balanced by saline minerality and a long, finely detailed finish that feels both concentrated and remarkably fresh.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Robert Weil Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese is a stunning sweet Riesling - luxurious, mineral and beautifully balanced with exceptional ageing potential. Perfect with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tarts, crème brûlée or simply enjoyed slowly on its own. Drink now or cellar gracefully through 2055+.
