Robert Weil's 2022 Kiedrich Klosterberg is a masterpiece of mineral precision. This dry Riesling from Germany's most prestigious Rheingau vineyard cuts straight to the point: citrus peel, green apple, and subtle stone fruit, all anchored by a striking slate-derived minerality. Founded in 1875, Weingut Robert Weil has spent nearly 150 years perfecting the art of coaxing pure expression from these hallowed slopes, and it shows. Firm acidity and fine structure keep the wine taut and focused, delivering clarity and tension in equal measure. There's no excess here, just elegant restraint and the kind of depth that unfolds over time. Drink it now to appreciate its vibrant immediacy, or cellar it to watch it develop into something even more complex.

The 2022 Kiedrich Klosterberg Riesling Trocken was fermented with natural yeasts and kept on the original lees in large oak casks until the bottling. The bouquet is deep, intense and very elegant as well as complex and clearly characterized by its phyllite soils with a reddish loess loam mixture. On the palate this is a supple, elegant, mouth-filling and rich Riesling with ripe, mineral acidity and a long, saline, savory and complex finish. It is long and intense and provided with great aging potential. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2023. 94Pts, Drink 2029-2050 - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
