Parker about Monte Vacano Riesling Methuselah Auction Wine 2021
Bottled in July 2023 after 21 months on the first lees (one year after the Gräfenberg), the 2021 Monte Vacano, from a particular plot of the Gräfenberg, is an intensely yellow Riesling that opens with a pure, intense, even rich, finely saline and mineral nose with citrus notes. Round and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich, intense, textural, enormously long, complex and saline, stimulatingly precise and tannic Monte Vacano with the power and richness of the Gräfenberg paired with the precision and salinity of the Castellum Montis. It is more hedonistic, although from a cooler year, but very, very long, saline and savory. Definitely a wine made for generations. To be released in April 2024.
Suckling over Monte Vacano Riesling Methuselah Auction Wine 2021
A huge and compact wine for the challenging 2021 vintage, but with the firm structure and vivid acidity that are typical for the vintage. Complex aromas of red gooseberry, white peach, fresh herbs and just a hint of sealing wax. Then comes the tidal wave of a finish that is stony and herbal in the best sense. From the steepest and stoniest section of the Grafenberg. Drink from release.

Monte Vacano Riesling Methuselah Auction Wine 2021
The 2021 Monte Vacano Riesling, produced by Robert Weil from the renowned Kiedrich Gräfenberg vineyard in the Rheingau, testifies to an exceptional vintage, celebrated by connoisseurs and experts as a return to the qualities of yesteryear. This vintage is particularly highly regarded due to its cool climate and optimal viticultural conditions.
Robert Weil, a traditional winery dating back to 1875, is internationally renowned for its excellent Rieslings. The Kiedrich Gräfenberg site is one of the winery's outstanding vineyards, known for its steep slopes and unique slate and quartz soil, which imparts a distinctive minerality to the wines.
In the 2021 vintage, the cool climate led to slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in remarkable concentration and complexity in the wines. The wines of this vintage are characterized by lively acidity, clear aromas, and excellent structure.
The 2021 Monte Vacano Riesling embodies the excellence of Robert Weil and the unique terroir of Kiedrich Gräfenberg. As a product of this outstanding vintage, it offers impressive expressiveness and depth, making it a true gem for wine lovers.
