Robert Weil Kiedricher Riesling Trocken 2023

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 and power and considerably rockier mineral intensity. Accordingly, one-third of the wine is raised in large Stockinger Doppelstückfass (wooden cask) for six months. 
  
“This was made two-thirds in stainless steel and one-third in large-format wood. Green apple peel on the nose comes with a zesty edge, promising spice and raciness. The palate is juicier than the nose suggests, adding dripping white peach ripeness and rounding out with lemony verve.” 91 points, Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous 
  
“Very cool with plenty of fresh garden herbs and delicate white peach and yellow apple aromas. This is a seriously elegant dry village wine with a pronounced mineral acidity on the focused, medium-bodied palate. Very straight, long and polished finish.” 93 points, Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
