Weil is widely considered one of the true greats of the sweeter Prädikat styles. One of the keys to this estate’s success with these wines is that the mountainous, rocky setting of the Kiedricher Berg vineyards allows for a perfect balance between natural sweetness, mouth-watering freshness and pungent, intense minerality.

Reviews

“A mighty riesling Auslese, but with the purity and precision that marks out the greatest wines of this category in the 2022 vintage. Great exotic fruit coulis character with stacks of passion fruit, but also King Alphonso mango. The super-long finish is as compact as it is vibrant. So much mineral freshness."

“The 2022 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese is clear, precise and fresh but also concentrated and dense, with overripe but nevertheless spicy and saline notes. Generous, rich and savory/saline on the palate, this is a mouth-filling, dense and chewy Auslese with concentrated fruit and rather smooth acidity. There is less drama here than in the Turmberg Auslese but more hedonism for those who prefer smoother acidity. 8% stated alcohol.”

“The 2022 Riesling Kiedricher Gräfenberg Auslese is made from ripe, slightly shriveled grapes without botrytis. The nose opens with Mirabelle compote and a golden note of ripe apricot skins. The palate is beautifully sweet and concentrated, channeling golden, almost candied Mirabelle and apricot. The acidity is concentrated, bringing this to a beautiful thrill with 11g/L of acidity, making this sharp but delicious. The 2022 is exciting, lip-smacking, utterly pure and heightened in style, without any taint of botrytis.”

“Where would the Rheingau’s tradition of high-end Riesling dessert wines be today if it weren’t for Wilhelm Weil’s modern masterpieces in the style?”
