Description

Riesling is widely regarded as the most exciting and versatile grape variety in the world of wine. This book, published by Tre Torri, one of Germany's most prestigious wine book publishers, highlights the history and specifics of this grape variety, while offering a unique insight into the Robert Weil winery, a key player in Riesling production in Germany.

Wines made from Riesling stand out for their ability to adapt to an infinite range of styles: from dry to off-dry, to noble sweet wines. They can be enjoyed young but also after several years of maturation, revealing their full complexity. This book presents these characteristics through the lens of the Robert Weil estate, a winery with a rich history, located in the heart of the Rheingau, an iconic wine region in Germany.

Led by Wilhelm Weil, the fourth generation of the family, the estate has, over the past 20 years, risen among the elite of international wine producers, while remaining firmly rooted in German winemaking tradition. The book tells this remarkable success story, from the rehabilitation of the estate to its current status as a global benchmark for Riesling.

In addition to the fascinating history of the estate, the book highlights the extraordinary architecture of the ensemble comprising the manor, the park, and the wine cellars. Each chapter is enriched with details about the terroir, the ecosystem, aging, and fermentation, illustrating the precision with which each wine is crafted. You will also discover a detailed calendar of the annual tasks of a winery, from vine pruning to harvest, with beautiful photographs accompanying each stage.

This book is a must for any Riesling and wine enthusiast in general, as it offers a comprehensive overview, combining cultural heritage with modern technicality, enriched by sumptuous photographs illustrating every aspect of the production process.
