With 92 and 93-point scores, a discount of 56% and a drinking window through 2050 there’s no reason not to stock up on the spectacular Weingut Robert Weil Riesling Spätlese.
Don’t miss your chance to SAVE $22.50 A BOTTLE on this very special deal.
Both vintages of the wine we are offering here today (the 2016 and the 2019, you’ll get two bottles of each in today’s 4-pack) feature a ton of big scores:
93 points and a “Year’s Best German Rieslings” selection from Wine & Spirits (2016 vintage) 92 points from Wine Enthusiast (2019 vintage) 91 points from Wine Spectator (2016 vintage) 90+ points from Wine Advocate (2019 vintage) 91 points from Robert Parker (2016 vintage) – who also gives the 2016 vintage an incredible drinking window of 2018-2050.
In other words, these are truly excellent examples of Spätlese, or late harvest, Riesling.
German wine classifications can be a bit confusing but the Spätlese on the label indicates this is a late harvest wine from fully ripe grapes. This does not necessarily mean that these are sweet wines, it just means that the grapes were fully ripe when picked and therefore have a high level of sugar in them at harvest.
That said, today’s wines are definitely on the sweet side with a good amount of residual sugar (59.8 g/L for the 2016 and 51.2 g/L for the 2019), but they are also beautifully balanced by plenty of refreshing acidity so that they don’t come off
