The vines on this steep, four-hectare vineyard are now between 40 and 60 years old. At up to 300 metres, this is the highest of the three Weil hillside sites, yet thanks to its southern aspect and deeper, iron-rich weathered slate soils, it also produces the most opulent and seductive of these wines (when young). The Weil team often use the term ‘baroque’ when describing wines from Klosterberg, in reference to the lift and generosity. Like all of Weil’s single site ‘21s, this wine was raised entirely in doppelstückfass and aged on full lees for ten months before bottling.

While the Klosterberg shares some similarities in character with the Kiedricher wine, you always get a kick up in intensity, complexity and drive at the finish. It’s such a finely detailed Riesling buzzing with coiled intensity, ripe citrus, and pulsating freshness. So young, but so hard to resist.

Reviews

“Seriously complex nose with a slew of stone fruit aromas with touches of candied and preserved lemon. A slew of cool minerality is packed into this wine’s sleek silhouette and the racy acidity drives this across the palate at a brisk clip. Wonderful herbal freshness at the long, tightly wound finish.”

“The 2021 Kiedrich Klosterberg Riesling Trocken is based on macerated fruit (6-18 hours) that was fermented spontaneously in 100% large oak vats. The wine was never racked, except for the bottling in late June. Full-bodied, rich and powerful yet elegant and balanced on the palate, this is a relatively smooth and saline, pretty long and crystalline Riesling with fine tannin grip and a long, aromatic finish.”
