Weil is widely considered one of the true greats of Germany’s highest Prädikat styles, which by default places them among the world’s greatest sweet wines. Riesling authority Stuart Piggot has written: “Where would the Rheingau’s tradition of high-end Riesling dessert wines be today if it weren’t for Wilhelm Weil’s modern masterpieces in the style.” He is not exaggerating!  

These wines are as staggeringly beautiful as they are rare. Made in homoeopathic qualities in small, custom-built vats, each sip of these wines is a symphony of flavours, with layers of apricot, peach, honey, and hints of citrus intertwining harmoniously with deep minerality and super-charged, crystalline acidify. The purity and poise, not to mention the sublime elegance and vibrating length, is profound. While they are incredibly delicious when open young, they are also amongst the longest-lived wines, improving in the bottle for generations.

One key to this estate’s success with these unique styles is that the mountainous, rocky setting of the Kiedricher Berg vineyards allows for a perfect balance between natural sweetness, mouth-watering freshness and pungent, intense minerality. 

The harvest seldom begins before October and continues for at least eight to ten weeks. During this time, the grapes are harvested by as many as 40 experienced pickers, with the draconian selection of pristine berries taking up to 17 passes through the vineyards.

The reward for such painstaking work is the kind of iridescent wines that have helped shape Rheingau’s legend for the past two centuries. Indeed, we could consider them among the first ever ‘icon wines’; this estate’s legendary 1893 Auslese traded hands for sums far exceeding Bordeaux or Burgundy’s top growths.

“A prototypical Rheingau BA with the combination of gigantically concentrated dried mango and papaya aromas with enormous wet stone acidity. The energy and purity of this wine are at least as amazing as its power and density. Still very young, but this will surely develop beautifully and has many decades of life ahead of it.”

“The golden-colored 2022 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Beerenauslese is fascinatingly clear, lemon-fresh and elegant on the precise but generous, intense and hedonistic nose that quotes ripe and stewed yellow stone fruit aromas. Generous and smooth but also finessed and saline on the palate, this is a savory, highly elegant and concentrated Turmberg BA whose richness (235 grams per liter of residual sugar) is uplifted by remarkable, finely grained acidity (12.5 grams per liter). 8.5% stated alcohol.”

“The 2022 Riesling Kiedricher Turmberg Beerenauslese was made from raisined fruit only, some with botrytis. The liquid is dark gold and viscous. There is only a faint botrytis note amidst the candied tangerine on the nose. The palate is super-concentrated, and there is a citrus thrill with more than 12g/L of acidity, spotting aromas of candied orange peel. This is luscious, shimmering with Navel orange, tangerine, Amal􀀁 lemon and candied kumquat. Beautiful length, Riesling magic. Wow. The citric zestiness lasts.”
