Tasting Notes
The Rheingau wines of Robert Weil have reached well beyond cult status and today are revered across the globe as some of Germany’s most superlative Rieslings. Based in the town of Kiedrich, Weil’s wines are fuelled by the three epic, high altitude, south facing vineyards of Klosterberg, Turmberg and most famously, Gräfenberg, all situated in the foothills of the Taunus Mountains.

Scores
92 / 100"The 2021 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Auslese is precise, fresh and flinty on the nose yet pretty sweet on the palate. This is an elegant and refined, dense and saline, seriously grippy and stimulating Auslese with enormous aging potential. Very long but very sweet as well. 8.5% stated alcohol plus 110 grams per liter of residual sugar. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt"

"Rich scent of dried exotic fruits, blossom honey, candied tangerine and lime, fine, animating. Lots of smoothness on the palate, rich and full, ripe fruit, straightforward acid thread that invigorates and carries everything, elegance, power and style. Has potential."

"The nose is intense and concentrated revealing notes of kumquats, ripe pineapples, mango, grapefruits along with orange blossom and candied fruits. The palate is luscious with a slight bitter note of citrus zest that helps to balance the sweetness. Moderate length."
