This cuvée is a blend of fruit from Weil’s high-altitude sites dotted around the village. These vineyards include the brilliantly named Sandgrub vineyard and there’s also a good dollop from Wasseros, a steep, southwest-facing vineyard that abuts the Gräfenberg vines. The soils of these sites are typically composed of stony, fragmented phyllite interlaced with loess and loam. At this level, the wine is vinified in stainless steel with less than 5% fermented in large oak. Look out for flavours of citrus oil and white flowers alongside saline and steely mineral notes. The palate bursts with leesy succulence and mouth-watering freshness, while the close is sleek and long, finishing with remarkable clarity and racy finesse. This is already a world-class Riesling, and it’s only the beginning of the range!

“Enticing spring blossom, white peach and Amalfi lemon aromas with a touch of herbal freshness. Elegant and racy with a tight core of wet stone minerality and fine tannins. Very crisp and bright finish. For a basic dry riesling this should age extremely well.” 91 points, Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com
