2022 Weingut Robert Weil Monte Nostrum Rheingau

“Weil is widely seen as the jewel of this, historically Germany’s grandest, wine region” ~ Jancis Robinson.

Robert Weil is no ordinary estate. It all began in 1875 when Dr. Robert Weil, a former Sorbonne professor, swapped academia for the vineyards of Kiedrich. Today, four generations later, the estate stands as a symbol of meticulous winemaking. Led by Wilhelm Weil, the founder’s great-grandson, the estate has become synonymous with elite Riesling production. It's now recognized globally, with prestigious vineyards like Kiedrich Turmberg and Kiedrich Gräfenberg under its care.

The secret behind this spectacular Riesling lies in the soil— Phyllite, loess, and loam. These unique components give the vines their characteristic vibrancy and elegance. At Robert Weil, sustainability isn’t just a practice; it's a philosophy. The estate proudly avoids herbicides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers, nurturing its vines with nothing but the best.

But what makes this wine truly special is its vinification process. The Riesling undergoes indigenous yeast fermentation in traditional 2,400-liter wooden casks—known as “Doppelstückfass.” It matures on the fine lees until bottling, ensuring an exceptional texture and complexity.

Here’s where things get truly thrilling. James Suckling has awarded the 2022 Monte Nostrum a jaw-dropping 99 points. Yes, you read that correctly. This is no ordinary Riesling—this is a wine crafted to rival the very best. And while Weil’s legendary ‘Grand Cru’ Gräfenberg fetches prices between $500-$1,000 per bottle, the Monte Nostrum offers incredible value without sacrificing any of the brilliance.

For the first time ever, Weil’s Monte Nostrum is being distributed through the Place de Bordeaux, a monumental moment for the wine world. As the Bordeaux market casts its eye on this exceptional German Riesling, it signals a new era for Riesling appreciation worldwide. Wilhelm Weil put it best: “The renewed interest from Bordeaux highlights the global recognition of Robert Weil Rieslings and signifies the revival of the once-revered status of Rhine Rieslings.”

The 2022 Monte Nostrum is exclusively offered in 750ml bottles, and trust us, this will sell fast. Don’t miss your chance to own a bottle of this spectacular wine from one of the Rheingau’s finest producers.
