Robert Weil - Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 2012 - 0,75 l

Robert Weil’s 2012 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is a rare, intensely concentrated German dessert wine from one of the Rheingau’s most celebrated vineyards. Made from hand-selected Riesling grapes affected by noble rot, it combines remarkable sweetness and richness with the vibrant acidity that gives great Trockenbeerenauslese its balance and longevity.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a luminous golden colour, reflecting its concentration and maturity. On the nose, it offers layered aromas of ripe peach, apricot, honey and candied fruit, complemented by the characteristic freshness and mineral character of the Kiedrich Gräfenberg vineyard. The palate is rich, opulent and beautifully complex, with intense sweet fruit balanced by precise Riesling acidity. Notes of stone fruit, honey and dried fruit lead to a long, persistent finish marked by refreshing minerality. With its concentration and acidity, this 2012 vintage has excellent ageing potential and can continue to develop for many years when properly stored.

Production
The grapes come from the steep slopes of Kiedrich Gräfenberg in the Rheingau, a renowned site known for producing exceptionally elegant and long-lived Rieslings. For this Trockenbeerenauslese, the grapes were hand harvested only once they had been naturally affected by Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot. This shrivels the berries and concentrates their sugars, flavours and acidity, creating the intensity associated with this rare Prädikatswein style.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This Trockenbeerenauslese is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or washed-rind cheeses, while its acidity also makes it a compelling match for foie gras and richly spiced dishes. Decanting is generally unnecessary, although opening the bottle 15–30 minutes before serving can allow its aromas to unfold. Serve in small pours, as a little of this concentrated wine goes a long way.
