The 2021 Peter Jakob Kühn Oestricher Klosterberg Riesling is a biodynamic single-vineyard Riesling from the Rheingau, Germany, produced by one of the country’s most respected estates. Sourced from the Erste Lage (Premier Cru) Klosterberg vineyard, the wine is grown on ancient calcareous loess, clay marl and quartz-rich soils that contribute both texture and mineral precision. Fermented with natural yeasts and aged extensively on lees, it reflects the estate’s philosophy of purity, terroir expression and minimal intervention.
The nose reveals lime zest, green apple and white peach alongside delicate floral notes and hints of crushed stone. The palate is vibrant and beautifully focused, with crisp citrus and orchard fruit supported by bright acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Precise, energetic and exceptionally refined, it finishes long and dry with remarkable freshness and tension.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb dry Riesling that showcases the elegance and precision of the Rheingau. Its freshness and mineral character make it an excellent match for oysters, sashimi, grilled fish, pork dishes, goat’s cheese and fresh seasonal cuisine. Enjoy now for its youthful energy or cellar through 2035+ as it develops greater complexity and depth.
