Description
The outstanding quality of the Kiedrich Gräfenberg (“Hill of the Counts”) vineyard was first documented in the late 12th century. It is a steep, southwest-facing slope in a sheltered side valley of the Rheingau, with deep to medium-deep stony soil made up of phyllite interspersed with water-retaining layers of loess and loam. The dry Grosses Gewächs (GG) is a perfect reflection of this mineral-rich terroir, displaying a provocative balance of fruit, spice and flintiness.
Robert Weil
Sekt (sparkling wine) has a long and cherished tradition in Germany, a country that currently drinks more sparkling wine than any other. The fruit for the Robert Weil Riesling Sekt Brut is sourced from parcels neighboring the great Kiedrich Gräfenberg Grosse Lage vineyard. It is produced using the traditional methode champenoise, with primary fermentation done in stainless steel tanks, followed by the second fermentation in bottle. It is matured on the lees, in bottle, for 20 months before disgorgement.
