Robert Weil Riesling Kabinett

Winemaker notes

This vibrant, stylish Riesling shows best in its youth – up to five years post-vintage. Low alcohol levels lend it the nuanced elegance and complexity necessary to perfectly complement a wide range of dishes.

2020

Wine Advocate 89+: Entirely from the Kiedricher Wasseros, the 2020 Rheingau Riesling Kabinett offers clear, elegant and intense primary fruit aromas with floral notes. Lush and round as well as firmly structured, this is a serious, very salty yet far too young Kabinett that will shine in 10 and still in 20 or even 30 years.

James Suckling 93: Striking nose of wild blackberry, melon and mint. Super-energetic and barely off-dry, this is an exciting wine that’s very focused and super-clean. Long, very crisp finish that tingles with minerality. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

2021

Wine Advocate 91: From the upper parts of the Kiedricher Wasseros and stopped at 30 grams per liter of residual sugar, the 2022 Riesling Kabinett offers a clear, pure, generously fruity and slightly flinty bouquet of crushed slate and rocks. Round and textured on the palate, this is a mouth-filling but light, fresh, vital, stimulatingly saline and elegant Kabinett for immediate and future pleasures. It is nicely astringent or mouthwatering. 9% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted at the domaine in August 2023.

James Suckling 93: Wonderfully floral and animating, but also peachy and succulent. This could almost be from the world-famous Wehlener Sonnenuhr site on the Mosel thanks to the scintillating interplay of fruit and acidity, with zero perceptible alcohol. Long, wet stone finish with tons of energy. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
