93 / 100"The 2021 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Trocken is pure and coolish on the intense and concentrated nose. From phyllite slate soils, this is a full-bodied, intense and salty-piquant, highly stimulating Riesling with lots of energy, phenolic grip and mineral tension. With fine tannin structure, the massive and concentrated body and fruit lead to a long and intense, aromatic finish. Long but still shy and still somewhat coated. Bottled at the end of June. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt"

"Red apple, fresh lemons, nettle, lemon balm, sage, wet rock, light notes of honey on the nose. Juicy on the palate, salty, yellow fruits like apricots, well-integrated acidity, fine phenolics, good extract, supple, encourages drinking, nice length."

Tasting Notes
The Rheingau wines of Robert Weil have reached well beyond cult status and today are revered across the globe as some of Germany’s most superlative Rieslings. Based in the town of Kiedrich, Weil’s wines are fuelled by the three epic, high altitude, south facing vineyards of Klosterberg, Turmberg and most famously, Gräfenberg, all situated in the foothills of the Taunus Mountains.
