Vintage Report
The 2022 vintage for white Mosel wines received a score of 87 to 96 points from Robert Parker. This indicates an above-average to extraordinary year, although the quality can be inconsistent even with the best wines.
The St. Kilian winery has a long history of producing the finest wines from the Mosel region. The winery also holds the "Qualitätswein" designation, which indicates the quality of certain wines. The vineyards for this Bernkastel region are situated on the best slopes in the Mosel region and guarantee a top-notch harvest. The grapes receive plenty of sunshine because the vineyard is planted facing south. The old vines produce truly beautiful bunches, making the wine surprising and very flavorful.
The harvest of the St. Kilian Bereich Bernkastel
Once the grapes have reached their full ripeness, they are harvested early in the morning. St. Kilian does this to protect the grapes from oxidation and to prevent damage to the bunches. These arrive at St. Kilian in crates and are then gently and immediately pressed. After pressing, this slightly sweet wine undergoes a long aging process in the St. Kilian cellars. The wine is allowed to develop and mature further, developing a unique and very smooth flavor.The smell and taste of the St. Kilian Bereich Bernkastel
We immediately sensed that this is a top-quality wine upon opening this bottle of St. Kilian Bereich Bernkastel. We immediately noted lovely notes of peach and sweet apples. As the wine is poured, all its aromas are released, revealing nuances of very ripe tropical fruit with just the right amount of honey and red apples. The taste is softly sweet with a rich, broad flavor, making this slightly sweet wine suitable for everyone.Product details
