2010 Weingut Keller Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewachs #150675021
Reviews 91 points Vinous "Elegant aromas of white peach, pine nuts and lime. Lively palate offers invigorating nectarine fruit, nice weight and crisp structure. Salty minerality provides charming length on the finish. (JP)" 95 points John Gilman "The bouquet is excellent today, jumping from the glass in a blaze of lemon custard, blood orange, a touch of smokiness, wild yeasts, lemongrass and a beautiful base of yellow limestone. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and snappy, with a very soil-driven personality, a superb core of fruit, excellent cut and grip and a long, complex and electric finish. (JG)"

About Weingut Keller
Keller's grand cru Rieslings are powerful and dense yet possess an elegant and refined beauty. The wines exhibit remarkable concentration, detailed fruit flavors, and a distinct minerality that makes them truly unforgettable. Beyond dry GGs, Keller produces outstanding Scheurebes, Rieslaners, Sylvaners, Auslesen, BA, and TBAs. This is a testament to Klaus Peter's affinity for the Mosel-style wines, influenced by his mother's heritage.
Keller's pursuit of excellence extends to the production of Spätburgunder. The rolling hills of the Rheinhessen, reminiscent of Burgundy's Côte d'Or, provide a favorable terroir for these captivating Pinots. Klaus Peter's passion for Burgundy is evident, as he visits the region often, and counts legends like Hubert Lignier and Eric Rousseau as friends.
Klaus Peter has made subtle changes in the cellar over the years but has really prioritized quality vineyard work. Fermentation occurs in old oak fuders, utilizing indigenous yeasts whenever possible. Extended skin contact and lees aging also contribute to the wines' deep, layered complexity.
Klaus Peter Keller's commitment to quality and innovation has garnered him a cult-like following. His wines, often compared to Burgundy's top Grand Cru whites, continue to evolve and improve with age, offering a harmonious balance of power, elegance, and refined delicacy.
