"Weil’s ‘villages’ level 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 more rocky and mineral intensity. Accordingly, one-third of the wine is raised in large Stockinger doppelstückfass (wooden cask) for six months. It’s full of pulpy orange and lemon goodness and driven by tangy, mineral freshness. There’s plenty of flesh, but it just skates across the palate. Compared to the 2020, this represents a return to a more archetypal Kiedrich style and it beautifully expresses both its origins and the meticulous culture behind it." - Bibendum
“From the higher vineyards in Kiedrich, especially Wasseros but also younger vines from Klosterberg, Turmberg and Gräfenberg, the 2021 Kiedricher Riesling Trocken offers a clear and coolish bouquet of white and yellow-fleshed fruits. Vinified two-thirds in stainless steel and one-third in large oak, this is a round and lush, pretty generous but vivacious and piquant Riesling with intense and elegant fruit, good density and a long, saline and finely grippy finish. Still young and edgy but promising.” - 91+ Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
