The 2022 Robert Weil Kiedrich Gräfenberg Grosses Gewächs Riesling Trocken Magnum (1500ml) is a flagship dry Riesling from the Kiedrich Gräfenberg VDP.Grosse Lage in Germany's Rheingau. Produced from one of the estate's finest hillside vineyards with phyllite slate, loess and clay soils, it showcases the depth and precision for which Robert Weil is renowned. Bottled in magnum, the wine develops slowly, revealing aromas of white peach, apricot, citrus zest and subtle floral notes, supported by distinctive mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is dry, concentrated and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity and flavours of ripe stone fruit, grapefruit and lemon layered over a saline, chalky mineral core. The finish is long, precise and finely textured, reflecting the exceptional quality of the Gräfenberg vineyard and the outstanding ageing potential of this Grosses Gewächs.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an outstanding choice for collectors and lovers of world-class dry Riesling. It pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, roast pork, grilled turbot or creamy mushroom dishes. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar for the next 20–30 years, with the magnum format allowing the wine to evolve with even greater complexity and finesse.
