Robert Weil, Riesling Spatlese Kiedricher Grafenberg, 2007
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.
