Description

The Klosterberg vineyard has the highest altitude of the three sites in the town of Kiedrich (the others being Turmberg and Grafenberg). The altitude and the stony soils give the Klosterberg wines a unique personality. Dry and warm conditions in the lead-up to harvest result in super-ripe berries, while cool overnight temperatures allow for acid retention.

The Robert Weil Klosterberg Riesling Trocken is a powerfully aromatic wine, both on the nose and the palate. It's aged on its lees for months, which adds texture, body and flavour. The wine exhibits very ripe notes of mango and passionfruit, as well as superb minerality and piercing acidity, all in remarkable balance. The flavour just goes on and on...

TASTING NOTES

Dry,complex Riesling, with an extreme elegance and minerality shaped by the stony, crumbling soils of the renowned Klosterberg vineyard.


VINEYARD NOTES

The Klosterberg borders the Kiedrich Turmberg and Kiedrich Gräfenberg - it is the third ‘Berg’ vineyard of Kiedrich. The name Klosterberg derives from the old path, the so-called ‘Klosterweg’, that crosses through the vineyards and links Kloster Eberbach to Kiedrich. The shallow to deep soil of the southwest facing cliffs
are composed of Devonian (colored slate) and Pre-Devonian (phyllite and gneiss) rock interspersed with gravelly loess.

94 Points - "Intense white-thorn and spring aromas, underlined by a hint of white bread (from long sur-lie maturation) and lime zest pull you into this racy dry riesling that’s brimming with energy, in spite of its sleek silhouette. Very long and complex wet-stone and wild-herb finish. Average vine age of over 50 years! Drink or hold." - Stuart Pigott (James Suckling)

94 Points - "This brings a remarkable, delicate, subtle and articulated, very elegant and flinty, almost Mosel-like Riesling bouquet of bright fruit aromas (mango, passion fruit) intertwined with notes of crushed iron and stones. Juicy, piquant and stimulatingly salty on the palate, this is a very elegant and substantial Riesling with juicy, refined fruit and a long, intense and refined finish that is carried by a highly stimulating mineral acidity and serious structure. This is an excellent Klosterberg, most probably among the finest I have tasted from this vineyard. Very long, piquant and highly salivating.” - Stephan Reinhardt (The Wine Advocate)

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
