The Robert Weil line of estate wines begins with this medium-bodied dry Riesling that shows the typical density and power of the Rheingau region, but is much more affordable than their ultra-classy single-vineyard wines. Produced in large, neutral oak casks for a rounder texture, the Riesling Trocken (German for “dry”) is a charming, fruit-driven wine, whose balanced, tangy flavors and food-friendly versatility mean that one glass is never quite enough.

Founded in 1875, Weingut Robert Weil is considered to be one of the Rheingau’s younger wine estates. It is located in the heart of Kiedrich, a village first documented in the year 950. Kiedrich Turmberg and Kiedrich Gräfenberg, the estate’s top vineyards, are among the finest sites in the Rheingau.

The estate cultivates 90 hectares (222 acres) of vineyards, of which 100 percent are planted with Riesling. Today, Wilhelm Weil, the great-grandson of the estate’s founder, carries on the tradition of uncompromising, quality-oriented vineyard and cellar practices – a tradition that has been the hallmark of the winery for four generations.

Based on the grapes from the three crus of the domaine, the 2023 Kiedricher Riesling Trocken is clear and subtle on the elegant, finely flinty and delicately coolish yet somehow polished nose. Bottled in April 2024, this is an elegant, quite intense and juicy yet also saline and finely structured Riesling with an intense and finely bitter, quite dense and substantial finish. 12% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.  Drink 2025-2045
