Broking
Whilst there is clearly more sign of botrytis here than in the Auslese the colour is beautifully translucent and bright tinged with shimmering green, the palate echoes the colour in the wine's electric freshness and pinpioint precision, this is a spellbinding BA, big and rich as you would expect a Rheingau BA to be, with a whopping 220g/litre of residual sugar, but so vibrant and clear too, notes of citrus rind, lime marmalade, orange blossom honey, salt and mineral, perfectly weighted. The acidity is a huge 17g/litre like 1996 but with a much riper fruit profile.
Only a handful of German wine Estates can boast excellence and consistency over a prolonged period. The wines of Robert Weil have not just been the standard bearers for Rheingau for the last few decades but equal to the top half dozen estates in Germany as a whole who are considered the best. Based in Kiedrich with 75 hectares of Riesling surrounding the fine Estate House and cellars, the vineyard management and wine making are based on precision with 100% focus on quality.
