- TASTING NOTE: "The 2023 Riesling Westhofener Kirchspiel Grosses Gewächs is from vines that average 50 years old. Pure, serene, ripe lemon is suffused with creaminess and an ethereal overtone on the nose. The palate is a picture of juicy citrus, lemon balm and white peach. It’s concentrated and zesty but also creamy, with inherent depth and a stoniness that becomes gently textural. It lines the mouth with tingling freshness and some pleasant astringency that only helps to accentuate the finesse and brightness. This finishes with gorgeous length. (Bone-dry)." 96 Points - Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous.com

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.
