Weingut Robert Weil Weingut Robert Weil Monte Nostrum 2022 750ml

The Monte Nostrum Riesling is sourced from the upper part of the Turmberg, so on pure phyllite slate, and will be sold exclusively via negociants in Bordeaux for at least 69 euros starting in September 2024. The 2022 opens with a pure, refined and coolish, stony/saline and citric bouquet of crushed stones and is remarkably precise. Lean, refined and elegant on the palate but also dense and intense, this is a pure, vibrantly fresh and mineral, savory and seriously structured Riesling from Kiedrich’s coolest spot outside the forest. Sharp as a knife, it is an incomparable, very long and even concentrated yet never big or fleshy Rheingau Riesling with no similarity to any other location in the Rheingau but maybe to the Saar (Wiltingen) or, as Weil says, Breuer’s Nonnenberg in term of its quiet flow. It was bottled in mid-August this year with only two grams per liter of residual sugar. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2023.
