The vines on this steep, 4-hectare vineyard are now 30-50 years old. At 260 metres, it’s the highest of the three Weil hillside sites, yet thanks to its aspect and deeper, weathered-slate soils, it also produces the supplest and most forward of these wines. The Weil team often uses the term ‘baroque’ when describing wines from Klosterberg, in reference to their overt exuberance. There are some similarities in character with the Kiedricher but there is much more intensity and drive on the finish.

Reviews

“Attractive flowers and a spicy edge here, this is based on the iron-rich, red-slate soils of this plot. The palate has a very fine, very detailed and fresh core of white peaches and limes. Sleek finish.”

“Macerated for 12 to 24 hours and vinified entirely in large oak until the bottling in early May, the 2018 Kiedrich Klosterberg Trocken offers a clear, bright, deep and intense, still fresh and even coolish, herbal, elegant nose. Round and juicy on the generous and elegant palate, with lush and silky fruit, a firm structure and sustainable salinity, this is a tensioned, mineral dry Riesling with remarkable roundness, balance and finesse. Impressive, tight and salty.”
