Robert Weil Rheingau Riesling Trocken 2020

"The most consistently brilliant winemaker in the Rheingau." Michael Broadbent

Weil's entry-level cuvée is a blend of fruit from high altitude sites--including the brilliantly named Sandgrub vineyard--dotted around the village. There's a good dollop of wine from Wasseros too (a steep, southwest facing vineyard that abuts the Gräfenberg vines). The soils of these sites are typically composed of stony, fragmented phyllite interlaced with loess and loam.

“The famous blue label of the estate has become the symbol of the highest quality of German wines. Only a few wine estates can boast such a continual and high level of overall quality.” Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve, Great Wines of the World

“Weil is widely seen as the jewel of Rheingau.” Jancis Robinson, The Financial Times

“Robert Weil has been one of the icons of German wine culture for many years. Nothing but the finest Rieslings are produced. And as more than 100 years ago, the wines are distinguished in terms of their origins and their style.” 
Stephan Reinhardt, The Finest Wines of Germany
