Robert Weil Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese

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 made up of phyllite interspersed with water-retaining layers of loess and loam. Auslese (“out of the harvest”) is a special selection of overripe fruit, usually including clusters that have been partially affected by botrytis. This produces a concentrated sweet wine with beautiful balance.
