Wine Review: This almost clear colored Riesling from Robert Weil opens with a Vaseline and light lime zest bouquet with hints of apricot and lychee. On the palate, this wine is light plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is silky, viscous, bright, and zesty. The flavor profile is saline and green apple blend with chalky minerality and lychee. We also detected hints of quince, pineapple, and ginger. The finish is off-dry and lingers nicely. The Tasting Panel would serve this Riesling with pan-seared scallops or sushi. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: A lush and juicy Riesling made from grapes that hang longer on the vine for greater ripeness and more intense flavors. The estate-grown Rheingau Spätlese is made with the same exacting standards and meticulous attention to detail as the single-vineyard wines, and showcases Spätlese’s riper, richer style from late-picked fruit. It is sourced from parcels that neighbor the estate’s classified single-vineyard sites, but also includes pre-selection fruit from the top sites, which gives the wine an extra dimension of fruit and mineral intensity. The wine is a timeless Rheingau Spätlese, with lush fruit notes and high-spirited acidity gracefully balancing its natural sweetness.
