Robert Weil Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Spätlese
A stunning late-picked Riesling that balances natural sweetness with the complexity and intensity of a Grosse Lage vineyard.
The outstanding quality of the Kiedrich Gräfenberg (“Hill of the Counts”) vineyard was first documented in the late 12th century. It is a steep, southwest-facing slope in a sheltered side valley of the Rheingau, with deep to medium-deep stony soil. Spätlese (“late-picked”) is produced from very ripe grapes, without botrytis, for a wine with epic minerality, nuanced fruit aromas, and an artful balance between crisp acidity and a rich natural sweetness.
