“Weil’s 2022s exceed expectations, so the king of the Kiedrich mountain can continue to calmly look down on his kingdom.” – Wine Advocate

A 99-pointer, consciousness-expanding DRY Riesling!!

Here to cleanse your weary, Cab-soaked palates with its scintillating, zippy, and truly mouthwatering style. There’s a magical quality to it. Almost as if Gandalf hit it with a blinding light spell, just illuminates you from the inside out.

Now, there’s not a mage among us, but we still managed to squib out a cost reduction enchantment on the lot.

Weil is an iconic grower in the Rheingau with roots back to 1875. Yet that’s nothing in the grand scheme of history in the small village of Kiedrich dating back to 950. Today the winery oversees 222 acres of vines - all planted exclusively to Riesling. When Wilhelm Weil took over operations in 1987, he made a point to transform the winery into a super modern and innovative winemaking facility where attention to detail is the rule.

Fermentation takes place in huge neutral oak vats, giving it extra weight and textural richness - without compromising the delicate balance of fruit and minerality. Compared to a Mosel Riesling, this has a little more “oomph” - the latter being slightly leaner, with a more electric zip.

As Antonio Galloni’s Vinous poetically put, “His dry wines are clear-cut, strait-laced, linear, of great precision and altitudinal freshness. They age brilliantly.

In the glass, this one is dry as a bone, but intensely concentrated and bursting with citrus, tropical, and floral flavors. White peaches, Asian pears, and lychee play with jasmine, honeysuckle, and exotic white flowers. And of course, an abundance of minerality comes into focus with each sip.

It’s truly head-spinning, magical stuff. If researchers found it helped form new synapses and neural pathways in the brain, we would not be surprised at all.

The savviest Operatives will get a case, but even the unwashed MUST try it. We’re all stashing at least a couple for Thanksgiving; it will outshine just about anything you can pair with turkey and all the fixins’.

Trust your Agents of Wine! This is one you NEED to experience.

99 Points – James Suckling “This super-racy and super-mineral dry Riesling with its extremely fine white peach, wildflower, and herb aromas are an archetypical expression of the steep, high-altitude vineyards of Kiedrich. Stunning crystalline finish that takes your breath away and pulls you inexorably back to the glass for more of this elixir that’s simultaneously strong and delicate. Great aging potential. Drink from release.”
