"All the beauty of the German countryside!"

“The 2021 Haus Klosterberg Riesling (White Capsule) is clear, pure, and fresh on the nose, with citrus notes—crisp, fresh, and wonderfully green. On the palate, it is a fruity, round, and flavorful Riesling, very energetic and invigorating with young, fresh, and crisp tannins. With medium length and not overly complex, it is a dry and straightforward Riesling. ” (The Wine Advocate 2023)

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on March 15, 2024

Another great success in 2021 for this Haus Klosterberg, as refined as ever with its silky texture carried by a beautiful, crystalline freshness. Lively, elegant, and textured, the palate unfolds with delicious, well-ripened flavors of lemon and, to a lesser extent, yellow fruits, supported by a vibrant mineral tension. The very slightly iodine-like and stony acidity stretches the wine’s body, giving it an incisive character that leads to an infinitely broad finish. Good value for money; price has remained consistent for the past three years. Natural and very light at 11.50% ABV, this beautiful Riesling was tasted after aeration, paired with a salmon tartare with lime and Granny Smith apple. Rating = 4.2.
