Robert Weil Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2017

Robert Weil Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2017 combines the generational experience of the Rheingau heritage winery with the specific site character of one of Hesse's top vineyards. The extremely steep slopes of red sandstone and limestone perfectly store warmth, giving the grapes an unmistakable structural strength. The summer of 2017 was characterized by longer ripening conditions, resulting in full-bodied extract without compromising the typical Rhenish acidity. As a classic VDP.Grosses Gewächs, it embodies a dry style that prioritizes clarity, elegance, and long aging potential.

The sensory profile reveals a broad spectrum of ripe pome fruit notes, accompanied by citrus freshness and a distinct flinty tone. On the palate, a compact texture follows, supported by a finely structured acidity and a clear mineral aftertaste. The longer the wine remains in the glass, the more intensely honey and herbal nuances develop. For optimal development, a consumption period of ten to twenty years is recommended. Suitable food pairings include grilled barbel, roasted halibut, pork hock with sauerkraut, or traditionally cured game specialties.
