  • ABOUT THE WINE: The Keller Riesling RR usually comes from the heart of the Kirchspiel grossen lagen (grand cru), where the soil is decomposed reddish limestone. This is a flamboyant and exotic wine that Keller ‘lets off the hook’ – usually only a single cask that does not ferment to full dryness. The small amount of residual sweetness lends both opulence and exoticism, matches with a killer line of acidity. The wine has ripe yellow stone fruit with some tropical qualities bursting from the glass, wreathed in smoky, black tea and warm ‘red-earth’ petrichor. The palate is plush but has plenty of phenolic grip and the ‘pull’ of a dry finish, together with excellent minerality and sizzling acidity. Further yellow and tropical fruits abound including peach and kernel, kumquat, and zesty orange citrus piths. The perfect balance of weight with lip-smacking moreishness. The finish is long and very stony, the iron-ore/reddish rock providing a beautiful petrichor close. The 2023 will age for 10 or even 20 years. Importer notes 
  • ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Keller family has been making wine in Flörsheim since 1789. Klaus-Peter is the 9th generation of Keller to grow vines and make wine in the region. He often pays tribute to the preceding generations of the family, and above all his parents, for laying the foundations of his own success. Prior to joining the family winery, Klaus-Peter wanted to learn about viticulture in other regions. In the early 1990s, he decided to spend time in Burgundy, a region he was particularly fascinated with, and did a few internships, one of which was at Domaine Rousseau. Klaus-Peter Keller and his wife, Julia, took over the day-to-day direction of Weingut Keller in 2001. After that, it didn’t take long for the estate to be recognized as the source of some of the finest dry Rieslings in the world. Today, their son, Felix, is working alongside them. From bone-dry Rieslings that are regularly cited as being among the very finest white wines in the world to Spätburgunder that rivals top-class Burgundy, Keller makes an astonishing number of world-class offerings. On the way up the ladder, the estate also has more “everyday” wines of varying levels of sweetness and age-ability. Keller’s wines are of tremendous concentration, yet they never feel heavy or over the top. The purity and minerally sensation they manage to convey is pretty much unrivaled elsewhere, making them some of the most exciting wines in the world.
