Reviews 93 points Vinous "Exuberant bouquet of star fruit, honeysuckle and acacia blossom, plus a hint of oyster shell. Dense apricot pit fruit and chalky minerality are beautifully interwoven on the palate. With excellent depth and spice on the alluring finish, this is certainly one of the finest dry Rieslings produced in Germany in 2013. (JP)" 98 points John Gilman "The brilliant nose delivers an aromatic constellation of white peach, lemon, clementines, again, a very crystalline expression of limestone, white flowers, lemon blossoms and a gentle smokiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and primary, with magical purity, seamless balance, bottomless depth at the core and a very racy, elegant and endless finish of great refinement and backend energy. Simply brilliant! (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.
