Winemaker notes
Delicate fruits in the nose are followed by a graceful, smooth acidity and full-bodied flavors; a simply delicious Riesling to be welcomed at every table and occasion, and as at home with a wide variety of cuisines as in a quality glass on its own.
2022
Wine Advocate 88+: Picked at 84° Oechsle and with 10 grams per liter of total acidity (with 70% to 75% tartaric acidity intentionally), the 2022 Riesling Trocken opens with a clear and ripe nose that is not as brilliant as in the years before. The fruit is ripe; it definitely sawn the sun and was picked ripe. This leads to a quite rich and mouth-filling palate (23 grams per liter of sugar-free extract) with good body and very fresh and racy acidity. The wine is elegant, mineral and forceful, with remarkable freshness from a supposedly coolish year. 11.8% alcohol. Screw cap.
James Suckling 92: Full white-peach fruit on the nose and the generous palate, this is a prototypical example of the increased ambition many leading producers are applying to the wines of this humble category. Beautiful balance at the long, very elegant finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Decanter 92: Bone dry and steely, this Trocken from Robert Weil offers exceptional value for fans of the GG wines. Aromas of lime flowers, crushed slate and mineral-driven petrichor segue into a zippy palate of smoky grilled lemon, flint, white pepper and cardamom. Juicy acidity keeps your mouth watering long into the finish.
2023
Wine Advocate 91: Based on the grapes from the three crus of the domaine, the 2023 Kiedricher Riesling Trocken is clear and subtle on the elegant, finely flinty and delicately coolish yet somehow polished nose. Bottled in April 2024, this is an elegant, quite intense and juicy yet also saline and finely structured Riesling with an intense and finely bitter, quite dense and substantial finish. 12% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.
James Suckling 92: This very successful entry-level dry Rheingau riesling marries white peaches, lemons and white currant fruit with wet stone minerality, elegant acidity and fine tannins on the barely medium-bodied palate to create a captivating composition. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
