Our Roots are in the Rheingau, where grape vines have been cultivated for over 2000 years. Rheingau is Riesling — and Riesling is Rheingau! This starts with the statistics: the Rheingau has a higher share of Riesling than any other winegrowing region in the world. For five generations and counting, Weingut Robert Weil has harvested this prized variety alone on roughly 100 hectares of vineyards in a tight radius around the estate. 

This mindful concentration on Riesling from vineyards that seem tailor-made for that variety, together with the estate’s legendary commitment to quality, paved the way for Weingut Robert Weil’s rise to cult status within Germany and an ambassadorial role for German Riesling culture within the wider international wine scene.

But we’ve never forgotten that another type of winegrowing developed over the centuries just across the Rhine, in the fabulous “left bank“ winegrowing region known as Rheinhessen. The Rhine itself has never really been a hard frontier between the two wine regions, as their historical and cultural ties are deep and complex..

Our Gaze has often wandered off with interest across the Rhine, towards the rolling hillsides of Rheinhessen, known for its dynamic white wines from the Pinot family as well as outstanding rosés and reds. And over time, interest began to percolate in taking over a century's worth of Riesling expertise and using those insights to explore grapes from the Pinot family. And given that those varieties can be found close to home, there’s no need to fly off to far-away countries or continents to do so.

Signed, sealed, delivered! In 2016, a young ROBERT WEIL Junior team was formed to lay the foundation of this brave new concept. They scoured Rheinhessen in a search of producer partners. 

Part of this dedicated team is also represented by the fifth generation of the Weil family, Marie-Charlotte and Robert. Of course, young at heart Winemaker, Wilhelm Weil, leads the team with his vision for the wines.

Our common quality goals guarantee the finest quality berries, gentle pressing, and controlled fermentation in state-of-the-art cellars.

Maturation on the fine lees gives the ROBERT WEIL Junior of wines body and inner depth without disrupting their fine flow. For all their power and stamina, these are wines built to charm through elegance and finesse as well. Each one is tremendously drinkable and irresistible.

Our excitement for these varieties shines through in our motto: A Riesling vintner sets the Pinots dancing! ROBERT WEIL Junior stands for wines that are stylistic, distinctive and perpetually recognizable in their character – in a word: unique.
