Winemaker Notes
The tireless work in the vineyards, and the extraordinary adaptability of the Kiedricher Berg itself, ultimately delivered not just ripeness, but also excellent fruit that was ideally ripe and healthy.

James Suckling
Effusive white peach fruit with lemon blossom and fresh garden herb aromas. A beautifully crafted, barely off-dry riesling with so much juicy fruit and a refreshing acidity that pulls you inexorably back for more of this vibrant elixir. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Bottled with 18 grams per liter of residual sugar, the 2021 Rheingau Riesling Tradition is the off-dry version of the dry estate Riesling. It opens with clear and aromatic redcurrant fruit, and it's light and fresh on the palate. This is a light, round, fresh and piquant, mouth-filling and palatable Riesling with stimulating salinity and phenolic grip.

Weingut Robert Weil, one of the region's younger estates, is located in the heart of Kiedrich, a village first documented in 950. Its profile is marked by the artworks and architecture of the Gothic parish church St. Valentine, aristocratic Gothic, Renaissance manors, and the tower of Scharfenstein castle, a former residence of the electors and archbishops of Mainz.
The estate cultivates vineyards planted 100% with Riesling grapes. Wilhelm Weil, the great-grandson of the estate's founder, carries on the tradition of uncompromising, quality-oriented practices in the vineyards and in the cellars. The historical manor house, the ultra-modern cellars and the vinothek stand side by side in a beautiful park – the same synthesis of old and new that is reflected in the estate’s philosophy of winemaking.
