Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling First Growth 2000

The Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Erstes Gewächs 2000 from Robert Weil is an elegant and multifaceted wine that masterfully reflects the potential of the outstanding vintage and the class of the renowned terroir. The 2000 vintage was characterized by a balanced climate and optimal ripening, resulting in wines that exhibit both depth and vibrancy.
On the nose, the wine presents a complex bouquet of ripe yellow fruits such as apricots, mirabelle plums, and peaches, complemented by delicate citrus notes of lime and grapefruit. Subtle floral notes, a hint of honey, and a pronounced minerality reminiscent of slate and chalk lend the fragrance an impressive complexity.
On the palate, the wine unfolds with a precise and powerful structure. The ripe fruit is supported by a lively, well-integrated acidity that lends the wine freshness and elegance. The mineral notes typical of Gräfenberg lend it depth and finesse. Despite its intensity, the wine appears balanced, displaying a fine balance between power and elegance. The finish is long and lingering, with a lingering citrus fruit, floral notes, and a hint of salinity.
The Kiedrich Gräfenberg Erstes Gewächs 2000 has developed excellently with bottle age and demonstrates remarkable ageing potential. It is a prime example of Robert Weil's ability to create world-class wines that perfectly combine terroir, vintage, and grape variety.
