The 2022 Robert Weil Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Beerenauslese Half Bottle (375ml) is an outstanding sweet Riesling from the renowned Kiedrich Gräfenberg vineyard in Germany's Rheingau. Produced from individually selected botrytised grapes and bottled in a convenient half-bottle format, it combines remarkable richness with the vibrant acidity that has made Robert Weil one of Germany's benchmark producers. The nose is intensely fragrant, offering aromas of apricot, peach, candied citrus, honey and orange blossom, layered with delicate floral and mineral notes.
On the palate, it is beautifully concentrated yet finely balanced, with lively acidity supporting flavours of ripe stone fruit, marmalade, tropical fruit and honey. A long, pure finish with refreshing minerality gives the wine exceptional elegance despite its sweetness.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for collectors of fine German Riesling or anyone seeking a world-class dessert wine. Serve lightly chilled with blue cheese, foie gras, fruit tarts or crème brûlée. Enjoy now or cellar confidently for the next 20 years or more as further complexity develops.
