2017 Robert Weil Riesling Tradition

The philosophy at Weingut Robert Weil is to combine modern ideas with the long tradition of viticulture in the Rheingau region. This wine is the estate’s classic rendition of the traditional off-dry style that made the Rheingau famous. It is a cuvée from parcels that neighbor the estate’s top vineyard sites in Kiedrich and Eltville. The mineral-rich soils of these vineyards consist of medium-deep stony, fragmented phyllite mixed with loess and loam. Wine Watch Notes: Juicy peach and melon fruit with notes of pretty flowers and lime citrus fruit with hints of stone like mineral. Sweet tart like fruit on the tongue with a zesty finish, light and refreshing with a nice touch of mineral through the finish. Finish 35+ Very Good +
