Robert Weil, Monte Nostrum Trocken

Robert Weil, Monte Nostrum Trocken - Rheingau 2023

Favored by nature, the “Kiedricher Berg” (the hill of Kiedrich) is a unique origin for wine. From its highest and coolest parcels, which are in between the classified Crus Turmberg and Gräfenberg as well as the forest and along the crest for almost one kilometer, we select the grapes for the MONTE NOSTRUM®.

Located at the western end of the crest, on top of a steep crag, the central tower of the former fortress castellum nostrum is rising up high. The archbishops of Mainz had the fortress built on top of the hill in 1160. The Rheingau sovereigns hoped to secure the precious vineyard sites – Turmberg and Gräfenberg – which have been mentioned in title deeds since the 12th century.

The exclusive, legally protected trademark MONTE NOSTRUM® is referring to these highest parcels of Weingut Robert Weil in the “Kiedricher Berg“ [Hill of Kiedrich]. Its front label was designed 1875, when the estate was founded.

The terroir of these steep vineyards is marked by barren stony soils of phyllite-slate, great exposure to the sun as well as perfect circulation of air. The forest, as the frontier of the vineyards, ensures the important difference between day and night temperatures, in order to guarantee the lively acid of Riesling and serves as an important water reservoir for the vineyard at the same time. Geological and microclimatic conditions of these – in best sense of the words “cool climate” – vineyards allow to produce Riesling wines of high minerality, finesse and at the same time complexity and sustainability.

In times of global warming, MONTE NOSTRUM® with its special quality of wine, is among the absolute pinnacle of Weingut Robert Weil.

Tasting notes:
Totally crystalline and precise, opens clear, on the slightly flinty, very precise and coolish nose. Silky, juicy and with fine acidity, yet pure and savory dry Riesling with a long, saline and stimulating finish.

From the highest plot of the Turmberg and the Gräfenberg (an old lieu-dit named Wasseros that Weil hasn't used for about 30 years) and at least 20-year-old vines rooting in phyllite slate, the 2023 Monte Nostrum Rheingau Riesling Trocken opens clear, precise and savory on the slightly flinty, very precise and coolish nose. Silky, juicy and with fine, crystalline acidity, this is a dense and intense yet pure and savory dry Riesling with a long, saline and stimulating finish. This excellent, very fine Riesling has a concentrated core of perfectly ripe fruit that is cut by laser-beam acidity. Excellent! It's a brand yet at the same time also a terror wine from a defined origin (Wassreros). 9,000 bottles were filled in late July/early August. Entirely sold via Place de Bordeaux. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024.

Les raisins dédiés à Monte Nostrum proviennent des parcelles les plus élevées et les plus fraîches du Kiedricher Berg. Elles sont situées entre le Turmberg et le Gräfenberg et s'étendent le long d'une crête sur près d'un kilomètre. Le terroir se caractérise par des sols de schiste phyllitique, un bon ensoleillement et une ventilation parfaite. La forêt qui délimite le vignoble assure une amplitude importante entre les températures diurnes et nocturnes, ce qui permet le maintien d'une acidité vive.
Les notions de précision, d’exactitude qui marquent l’ensemble des vins de la propriété me semblent encore plus soulignées dans le bouquet de Monte Nostrum 2023. La minéralité mène l’ensemble olfactif en laissant de l’espace à la fraîcheur avec de filigranes notes d’abricots et de pêches complétées par des nuances d’anis et d’agrumes. Et après aération, la minéralité se met en retrait, tout gardant la mainmise, mais elle cède les devants de la scène aux nuances fruitées. En bouche, le vin incarne les nombreux détails qui font la grandeur du Riesling, non pas au travers de sa puissance, mais de son aptitude à faire cohabiter tant de caractères côte à côte. Ainsi, la finesse tient tête au tempérament, tout comme le côté élancé qui rappelle qu’il ne suffit pas d’être large, mais plutôt pertinent et agile. Un vin imposant, sapide, incisif, salivant et persistant. C’est certainement un des plus grands 2023 qu’il m’a été donné de goûter jusqu’à présent. Quand la délicatesse et la vigueur s’entendent, le vin est grand !

The essence of steep, high-altitude vineyard Rheingau dry Riesling. Totally crystalline and precise, this is anything but big or loud, but is extremely pure and precise. Extremely delicate white peach, cloudberry and white flower aromas. Very stony, but every bit as graceful, the underplayed power first showing its hand in the extremely long finish, where there’s as much wet stone character as I can ever remember experiencing. From organically grown grapes.

The 2023 Riesling Monte Nostrum is a name borrowed from the Archbishops of Mainz, who referred to this elevated vineyard range as monte nostrum (“our mountain”) since the 12th century. This is made from the highest-elevation vineyards situated close to the forest. It was fermented spontaneously in large wood, with the goal of emphasizing precision and capturing the essence of these sites. Subtle citrus tones streak across the nose, along with some yeast. The palate is slender and vivid with lemon and streaks of pink grapefruit, alongside touches of juicy white peach. Zestiness defines the nose, palate and finish. Right now, fresh citrus triumphs, but this should turn into a sleek, bone-dry Riesling of immense energy and poise with its enlivening, energetic freshness. Wait for this. (Bone-dry)
