Gault Millau WeinGuide Deutschland 2007 (G M annual wine guide November 2006)

Weingut Robert Weil once again achieves 5 grape clusters, the highest category, reserved for “world’s best wine producers.” Quote: “Scarcely a handful of wine estates in Germany can claim to have château character. The Kiedrich estate Weingut Robert Weil probably comes closest. The house philosophy practiced here is similar to that of the Premiers Grand Crus in southwestern France. That Wilhelm Weil and his team meet such high expectations year for year deserves respect and recognition. The congenial estate director has succeeded in transforming this estate into a shining symbol of German Riesling culture at home and in important export markets. (…) The strong 2005 collection is crowned by a highly concentrated Trockenbeerenauslese brimming with gigantic potential.”

Weingut Robert Weil achieves (again) the highest rating – five stars –as international top producer. Quote: “During the past decade, no one else has done so much for the reputation of Rheingau wines and for the renown of German wines in general as Wilhelm Weil. (…) A comparably strong collection (as in 2004 – ‘world-class wines’) follows this year.”

At both the national and international levels, it is described as a shinning symbol of German Riesling culture.
