Robert Weil Riesling Trocken

The Robert Weil line of estate wines begins with this medium-bodied dry Riesling that shows the typical density and power of the Rheingau region, but is much more affordable than their ultra-classy single-vineyard wines. Produced in large, neutral oak casks for a rounder texture, the Riesling Trocken (German for “dry”) is a charming, fruit-driven wine, whose balanced, tangy flavors and food-friendly versatility mean that one glass is never quite enough.

Winemaker notes

Delicate fruits in the nose are followed by a graceful, smooth acidity and full-bodied flavors; a simply delicious Riesling to be welcomed at every table and occasion, and as at home with a wide variety of cuisines as in a quality glass on its own.

2023

Wine Advocate 89+: Robert Weil's 2023 Rheingau Riesling Trocken is clear, elegant and quite intense on the well-balanced nose that reveals ripe and fleshy fruit aromas with only a nuance of flintiness. Elegant, refined and quite lush on the palate, this is a mouth-filling, delicately saline and grippy dry estate wine with good extract (22-23 grams per liter) and intense length. It's stimulating and already a pleasure to drink. 11.8% de facto alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.

James Suckling 92: This very successful entry-level dry Rheingau riesling marries white peaches, lemons and white currant fruit with wet stone minerality, elegant acidity and fine tannins on the barely medium-bodied palate to create a captivating composition. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

2024

James Suckling 90: Sleek, cool and lively on the barely medium-bodied palate, this entry-level dry Rheingau riesling shows good juiciness (think yellow apples and lemons), the crisp acidity married to fresh mint aromas. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
