A sweet, nobly ripe Riesling from Grafenberg, the Rheingau grand cru whose name means "Hill of the Counts" and whose quality has been documented since the twelfth century. Robert Weil sends pickers through this brutally steep, southwest-facing slope up to 17 times, selecting only the ripest late-harvested fruit off barren phyllite and loess soils, no botrytis here, just concentration from a long, sun-drenched hang. That means the sweetness is pure, honeyed ripe-fruit sweetness held in perfect tension by acidity, not the raisined intensity of nobly rotted wines. 2007 was a high-acid vintage that was underrated young and has aged gorgeously, and at nearly two decades this bottle drinks in a beautiful mature window. Serve it well-chilled and let it do the talking.

"A bright floral quality lifts the aromas of nectarine, quince and sweet herbs. Honeyed papaya flavor pairs with mineral salts to provide complexity, with a spicy crispness keeping the palate fresh. Well done!" —Joel B. Payne

Robert Parker

"A striking sense of chalk and salt accompanies white peach and plum in the nose of Weil’s 2007 Kiedricher Grafenberg Spatlese, which saturates the palate with a superb, subtly oily concentration of pit fruits, citrus, and honey. Savory mineral character suggesting shrimp or lobster shell reduction persists all the way through a long finish, with the overall effect being surprisingly similar to that of the 2006 version, but with a degree of mineral-like expression rare for residually sweet Spatlese. But then, sheer density of underlying material, I suspect, explains the degree to which this – more than the corresponding Turmberg – manages to practically cancel out its residual sugar in the finish. This will doubtless be worth following for 15 or more years." —David Schildknecht

"This is juicy, with apricot, peach and grapefruit aromas and flavors weaving throughout the lush texture. Smooth and harmonious, with a fresh finish."

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Spicy Thai or Szechuan, foie gras, blue cheese, or fruit tart.

Tasting Profile

Sweet and medium-bodied but lifted. Honeyed apricot, peach, citrus and mineral notes with evolved, mature nuance. Racy acidity keeps it fresh, not cloying.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
