The 2023 Riesling Rheingau Kabinett was picked in the Kiedricher Wasseros and made from whole-bunch-pressed juice. Weil emphasizes that they want "restricted" sugar levels of around 35 g/L with "hearty" acidity. The nose is a vivid and enticing mix of pineapple and lime, still swinging with a touch of yeast, aromatic and tangy. The palate brims with juicy sweetness, dances with light and agile steps and delivers what we want from a Kabinett—ease and joy. The entire experience is scented with lemon balm and summer blossom. Simply lovely. (Off-dry)

Wonderful floral, nectarine and mandarin orange aromas pour from the glass. Simultaneously juicy and sleek on the barely medium-bodied palate, this is so vivid and charming, but also has stacks of mineral freshness in the long, orangey finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

No ordinary Rheingau Kabinett, this Riesling comes from cooler, higher-elevation parcels adjacent to the estate’s classified single-vineyard sites and fruit from pre-selections in the top estate sites. A delicately balanced Kabinett, this Weil bottling offers sweet peach and ripe pineapple aromatics lifted by a sea breeze. The palate is gloriously dialled in as sweet, ripe pineapple dances effortlessly with a saline minerality and crushed wet stone.
