The 2022 Sorentberg Riesling Rebell Mosel is a stunning example of a classic German Riesling. With its pale straw colour, this wine immediately catches the eye. On the nose, delicate aromas of white peaches, lime zest, and floral notes dance together, creating a refreshing and inviting bouquet. On the palate, this wine truly shines, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Flavours of ripe apricots, green apples, and a hint of minerality come together to create a harmonious and complex taste. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant, slightly honeyed aftertaste. This wine is a true representation of the terroir of the Mosel region, with its steep slopes and slate soils. Enjoy this wine now or cellar it for a few years to experience its full potential.

This cuvée is a blend of fruit from high altitude Estate vineyards - including the brilliantly named Sandgrub vineyard - dotted around the village. There's a good dollop of Wasseros too, a fine vineyard which wraps around the Gräfenberg Grosse Lage. We've had some great bottles of this wine over the years, but few with the kind of horsepower on offer here. Racy and cool, with citrus and ripe stone fruit, yet balanced by fabulous, mouth-watering acidity; this is the sort of wine that will make Riesling lovers shudder with pleasure. Robert Weil doesn't make 'entry level' wines, as this clearly shows.

How can something that is so light in alcohol have such incredible palate weight and texture? It's an art form and Ernst Loosen is a master. The Kabinett style means a decent lick of residual sugar, but the steely, crunchy acid means you'll hardly notice it. Simply stunning.
