Robert Weil Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trocken GG 2020
HK$ 542.15
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Entirely vinified in large, partly renewed oak, the 2020 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trocken GG opens deep, pure, refined but also very intense and complex on the highly attractive nose that is full, generous and aromatic and reveals more oak aromas than the premiers crus Klosterberg and Turmberg. On the palate, this is a very elegant, refined and balanced Riesling with a sweeter or rounder taste than the Turmberg (although it's analytically less sweet), but it reveals a similar saline vibrancy. The richer and rounder sensation might be due to the loess-loam components of the Gräfenberg phyllite terroir compared to the shallower terroir of the Turmberg, but richness and power are the nature of the Gräfenberg, which is still fresh and refined enough to represent its coolish terroir character as well. Since the 2020 will be released only in September 2022 (so 12 months later than former vintages), I assume it will become brighter, finer and purer over the next 12 months. Tasted in August 2021.

Description

Founded in 1875 by Dr. Robert Weil, the winery has maintained an unwavering focus on quality over four generations. The Kiedrich Gräfenberg vineyard, classified as Grosse Lage(Grand Cru), is characterised by its stony soil with layers of loess and loam that retain water, contributing to the complexity and depth of its wines. This dry Riesling, also known as Grosses Gewächs (GG), is a testament to the winery's dedication to high quality viticulture and meticulous winemaking practices.
