Description
About Robert Weil
The vines on this steep, 4-hectare vineyard are now 30-50 years old. At 260 metres, it’s the highest of the three Weil hillside sites, yet thanks to its aspect and deeper, weathered-slate soils, it also produces the supplest and most forward of these wines.
The Weil team often uses the term ‘baroque’ when describing wines from Klosterberg, in reference to their overt exuberance. There are some similarities in character with the Kiedricher but there is much more intensity and drive on the finish. The first impression is of ripe nectarine and kernel spice with creamy generosity, but the finish is mineral, spicy, salty and racy. Outstanding, and one of the best examples of this wine we have shipped.
“Weil is widely seen as the jewel of Rheingau.” Jancis Robinson, 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
