As is so often the case, Weil’s 2021 Gräfenberg Spätlese exhibits textbook balletic poise between the wine’s natural sweetness and laser-like acidity. The grapes for Weil’s Auslesen were harvested without any botrytis influence and you can read in the reviews it looks like a case of no harm done! These are the kind of iridescent wines that have helped shape Rheingau’s legend for the past two centuries. Alcohol 9%; acidity 9.1 g/L; residual sugar 88.5 g/L.

Think about everything you love about this grower’s Spätlese, and then add some more. A wine of sublime purity and chiselled tension, the ‘21 offers up a kaleidoscopic array of flavour—try all kinds of citrus, quince, sweet yellow florals, woody herbs and slatey notes—all perfectly balanced by thrilling, daisy-fresh acidity and mineral precision. Weil’s picking army—which numbers up to seventy strong—has worked its magic again, gifting a beguiling, pure and tangy wonder that seems to dissolve in the mouth. The 9% alcohol comes in very handy: it’s impossible to stop drinking.

Reviews

“Very ripe yellow peach, mango and mandarin orange aromas with notes of floral honey and fresh basil. Ripe, substantial and well-structured, the fresh acidity give this precise contours. Seriously creamy on the mid-palate, but the finish is super clean. Made for the long-term.”

“The 2021 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Spätlese offers an intense, almost raisiny but also fresh and flinty bouquet with concentrated and candied fruit aromas. Rich and lush on the palate, with stimulating salinity and piquancy, this is a highly stimulating Riesling with lush, sweet and concentrated fruit. Very long and very complex, this is a fabulous Spätlese from the Gräfenberg grand cru. 9% stated alcohol.”
