92 / 100"The 2021 Kiedrich Klosterberg Riesling Trocken is based on macerated fruit (6-18 hours) that was fermented spontaneously in 100% large oak vats. The wine was never racked, except for the bottling in late June. Full-bodied, rich and powerful yet elegant and balanced on the palate, this is a relatively smooth and saline, pretty long and crystalline Riesling with fine tannin grip and a long, aromatic finish. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt"

"Complex on the nose, red apple, fresh lemons, apricots, meadow herbs, white flowers, chamomile, slate spice. Youthful on the palate, great freshness, excitement, encouraging to drink, lively acidity, nice spiciness, salty, full-bodied, juicy, long on the palate."

"(Barrel sample, to be bottled in July 2022) The nose is open and opulent showing ripe yellow apples, white peaches, some tropical notes of pineapple and mango. The palate is smooth, round, with a pleasant saline touch and refreshing bitterness on the finish."

Tasting Notes
The Rheingau wines of Robert Weil have reached well beyond cult status and today are revered across the globe as some of Germany’s most superlative Rieslings. Based in the town of Kiedrich, Weil’s wines are fuelled by the three epic, high altitude, south facing vineyards of Klosterberg, Turmberg and most famously, Gräfenberg, all situated in the foothills of the Taunus Mountains.
