RATINGS

93Wine Enthusiast

From nose to finish, this is such a pure, crystalline Kabinett. Brilliant white peach and grapefruit flavors have a steely, mineral filigree and an acidic spine that's electrifying.

90Wine Spectator

Expressive and graceful, with a vibrant structure, exhibiting notes of bitter orange oil, yellow plum and tarragon. Good minerality midpalate gives this an interesting texture. Offers a focused, mineral-infused finish.

17.5Jancis Robinson

White peach, nectarine, pineapple, passion fruit – calling the Weil estate Kabinett a fruit basket would be no exaggeration. What makes it even more special, however, is the purity of fragrance and abundance of juice.

REGION

Germany, Rheingau

Rheingau is considered one of the finest of Germany’s great wine districts. Its 8,000 vineyard acres are planted primarily to Riesling, and the Rieslings of Rheingau are noted for their steely character. In recent decades producers have also started planted Pinot Noir, called Spatburgunder in Germany. Historically the most famous Rieslings of the Rheingau have been the very sweet Beerenauslesen and Trockenbeerenauslesen styles, but as the market for dry wines has increased, younger Rheingau winemakers have begun producing dry Riesling, harkening back to methods used before the 20th century. By 2005 nearly 85% of the Rheingau Rieslings have been dry wines.

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling, Kabinett

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
