Robert Weil Rheingau Riesling Tradition

Weingut Robert Weil was founded in Kiedrich in 1875. The history of the winery, now managed by the fourth generation of the family, has been marked by a series of fortunate coincidences that have had a beneficial effect not only on its creation but also on its subsequent development. Today, Weingut Robert Weil owns unique vineyards in the Rheingau, among them Kiedrich Turmberg—one of the estate's best vineyards on a separate hill next to the Grafenberg vineyard, rated as Premier Cru. The Rheingau is an autonomous region on the Rhine, whose landscape is inextricably linked with viticulture. Its winemaking traditions were established by monasteries and large aristocratic wine estates. Riesling thrives here and makes it possible to produce very fine, elegant wines that are less massive than their counterparts from Grafenberg. Winemaker Wilhelm Weil, who manages the estate today, was named "Winemaker of the Year" in 1997 and called the most consistently brilliant winemaker in the Rheingau. "Over the last decade, no one has done as much for the reputation of Rheingau wines and the glory of German winemaking in general as Wilhelm Weil."
