James Suckling, 93 Points

“Very aromatic, with tons of yellow apple, lemon curd, chamomile and fresh garden herbs. Impressive substance and harmony for the 2021 vintage. Juicy and focused, with a wonderful texture and an intense wet-stone finish thats beautifully balanced. Very good aging potential. Vegan.”

Wine Advocate, 92 Points

“From Kiedrich’s Klosterberg and Sandgrub, the Riesling trocken 2021 Kiedrich offers a fine yet intense and well-concentrated nose of ripe citrus fruit (and orange) aromas intermingled with notes of crushed stones. Round and elegant on the palate, with a charmingly refined and mouth-filling texture and very fine, ripe acidity, this is a tense, saline, very persistent and lingering mineral Riesling with remarkable quality and complexity. 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Best after 2025.”

Winemaker Notes:

“A blend from several sites around Kiedrich, including Klosterberg and Sandgrub. From Riesling vines that are more than 40 years old planted to a mix of soils: sandy loess and loam, clay, quartzite, and slate. Spontaneous fermentation in 100% stainless steel tank followed by 8 months on the fine lees . Notes of kumquat, candied citrus fruit and orange zest.”

Alcohol: 12%
