Story

The founder, Dr. Robert Weil, was a German professor at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of the University of Paris. In 1875, he founded the vineyard winery and began to produce wine. In the late 19th century, the white wine of this winery became popular among the major European royal families. In the next 100 years, the Weil family expanded the vineyards everywhere, and the winery also developed vigorously. After 1970, the Weil family sold the winery to the Suntory group, while the family itself only retained a small share. The winery is now jointly managed by the Suntory Group and Wilhelm Weil, the fourth generation of the family. Currently, the Robert Weir Winery vineyard covers an area of ​​65 hectares. The grape varieties planted in the garden are 98% Riesling and 2% Pinot Noir. The average age of the grapevines is 25 years, and the planting density is 5,000-6,000 plants/hectare. Currently, 98% of the winery’s area is planted with Riesling grapes, including Grafsberg, one of Germany’s top vineyards. Gräfenberg!

The winery strictly implements various viticultural techniques, including pruning, thinning, defoliation and stimulating air circulation in the vineyard. All vineyards are cultivated organically and no herbicides are used.
