Robert Weil Riesling Kiedrich Klosterberg trocken 2023

- 95 Punkte James Suckling, Stuart Pigott (10/2024)): „Stacks of white tree fruit and white currant character, but leesy and garden herb complexity give this sleek and racy but well-structured dry riesling a strong personality. Barely medium-bodied and very cool on the palate. Then comes the long lemon zest, dill and wet stone finish that’s bursting with energy. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.“

- 93 Punkte, Parkers WINE ADVOCATE: „From vines averaging 35+ years of age in a cru that Weil has cultivated for 20 years, the 2023 Kiedrich Klosterberg Riesling Trocken is very clear, intense in a fine way and substantial on the still-muted nose that indicates ripe and fleshy fruit with a flinty nuance. Entirely vinified in large oak until the end of July, this is a very elegant and balanced Riesling on the palate. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and finely savory, this is a structured and saline-finishing Riesling with intensity and concentration, but it's still somewhat muted, as if it's under a dusty layer. This very young wine should benefit from bottle age or a carafe. 12.6% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024. 2028-2045“
2023 was a year of weather extremes with heat and drought in June and July, high rainfall in August, excellent ripening conditions with sunny and (almost too) hot weather in September, but then again with serious challenges in the harvest due to changeable October weather—this is the vintage in a nutshell.

- „Hervorragend“ und 91 Punkte WEIN PLUS (07/2024): „Klare, jugendliche und noch eine Spur unruhige, dabei feste, leicht rauchige Nase mit feinen, hellen Steinobst- und Zitrusaromen, einem Hauch Zitruszesten und mineralischen Spuren. Recht saftige, wieder helle Frucht, eher kühler Charakter, sehr feine Säure, zarter Griff und deutliche steinig-mineralische Würze, Kräuternoten im Hintergrund, ein Hauch Pfeffer und Zitronengras, gewisse Tiefe, noch unentwickelt, ganz leicht rauchig, sehr guter, straffer, wieder kühler Abgang mit heller Frucht, aber auch roten Johannisbeeren und reichlich Mineralik. Trinkempfehlung: 2025-2035+“

-16,5 Punkte Jancis Robinson, Paula Sidore: “A complex, fruity spectrum is swathed within a soft, leesy blanket. A bit peachy, some grapefruit and white flowers. Once the blanket and baby fat fall away, a rigid backbone emerges. Elegant and linear with a long, stony finish. 2026-2035“
