Robert Weil, an iconic estate with a winemaking history dating back to 1875, is celebrated for producing elegant and terroir-driven Rieslings. This Trocken (dry) Riesling is a pure expression of the Rheingau's unique microclimate and slate-rich soils, delivering vibrancy, precision, and complexity.

On the palate, Robert Weil Riesling Trocken offers a crisp and refreshing profile, with flavors of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, layered with subtle notes of wet stone and flinty minerality. The wine’s bright acidity and laser-sharp focus balance the ripe fruit, creating a beautifully structured and mouthwatering wine. Aromas of citrus blossom, jasmine, and a hint of herbal spice add further complexity, leading to a long, clean, and mineral-driven finish.

This dry Riesling is incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairings. It pairs perfectly with fresh seafood such as oysters, sushi, or grilled prawns, and it also complements lighter dishes like citrus-infused salads or roasted chicken. Its vibrant acidity makes it an excellent match for spicy Asian cuisine, such as Thai curries or Vietnamese dishes. Whether enjoyed young for its crisp, fruit-forward character or cellared for a few years to develop additional depth, Robert Weil Riesling Trocken is a quintessential example of Rheingau Riesling.
