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.
On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
