Robert Weil Kiedricher Riesling Trocken 2022

Weil’s village Riesling is a blend of first-picked parcels from the classified hillside estate sites of Klosterberg, Turmberg and Gräfenberg, as well as a measure of Wasseros fruit. As you would expect from such terroir, it is a step up from the entry wine, with more texture, power and considerably rockier mineral intensity. Accordingly, one-third of the wine is raised in large Stockinger doppelstuckfass (wooden cask) for six months.

“This smells like a freshly prepared fruit salad, with some exotic-fruit notes alongside the citrus and stone fruit. On the medium-bodied palate there’s nothing superficial about this dry riesling, rather it shows excellent structure and wonderful texture. A touch of fine tannin neatly underlines the long, refined finish.” 93 points, Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
