Robert Weil Kiedrich Turmberg Beerenauslese 2022 (375ml)

“A prototypical Rheingau BA with the combination of gigantically concentrated dried mango and papaya aromas with enormous wet stone acidity. The energy and purity of this wine are at least as amazing as its power and density. Still very young, but this will surely develop beautifully and has many decades of life ahead of it.”

“The golden-colored 2022 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Beerenauslese is fascinatingly clear, lemon-fresh and elegant on the precise but generous, intense and hedonistic nose that quotes ripe and stewed yellow stone fruit aromas. Generous and smooth but also finessed and saline on the palate, this is a savory, highly elegant and concentrated Turmberg BA whose richness (235 grams per liter of residual sugar) is uplifted by remarkable, finely grained acidity (12.5 grams per liter). 8.5% stated alcohol.”

“The 2022 Riesling Kiedricher Turmberg Beerenauslese was made from raisined fruit only, some with botrytis. The liquid is dark gold and viscous. There is only a faint botrytis note amidst the candied tangerine on the nose. The palate is super-concentrated, and there is a citrus thrill with more than 12g/L of acidity, spotting aromas of candied orange peel. This is luscious, shimmering with Navel orange, tangerine, Amal􀀁 lemon and candied kumquat. Beautiful length, Riesling magic. Wow. The citric zestiness lasts.”

“Where would the Rheingau’s tradition of high-end Riesling dessert wines be today if it weren’t for Wilhelm Weil’s modern masterpieces in the style?”
