Weingut Robert Weil
Kiedricher Turmberg Trocken Riesling
Rheingau, Germany
Sporting a killer nose that could only be German, leaping out of the glass with youthful vigour is the Kiedrich Turmberg 1er Lage Trocken from Weingut Robert Weil, a drop-dead gorgeous riesling from the Rheingau.
With great minerality, the nose features aromas of oyster shell, the freshest of lime zest, peach, cardamom, faint petrol and fresh cream. It’s a wine you can sniff for ages, but then it’s got somewhere to be. It veritably explodes in the mouth, that lime returning with a tongue-full of acidity and razor-sharp precision. Flecks of white pepper add a slight element of spice, while it races through the palate to a long, bone-dry finish.
A powerful, chiselled example of Riesling trocken.

Love the 2015's. This wine has such brightness and focus. Truly amazing and while it outshines the Grafenberg initially, I'd be curious to see which comes out on top in a few years. Still, Grand Cru quality.
