Robert Weil Kiedrich Klosterberg Riesling Trocken - 2021

Wine Advocate 92: 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.

James Suckling 93: Seriously complex nose with a slew of stone fruit aromas with touches of candied and preserved lemon. A slew of cool minerality is packed into this wine’s sleek silhouette and the racy acidity drives this across the palate at a brisk clip. Wonderful herbal freshness at the long, tightly wound finish. Drink or hold.
