Reviews 98 points Wine Advocate "Keller's 2020 Schubertslay Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben is very clear and fine on the bright and delicately spicy nose that represents perfect fruit ripeness. Juicy, silky and enormously vital on the palate, this is a dense, pure and intense, very sustainable yet also fine and fruity style of Riesling from ancient, ungrafted vines in Piesport/Mosel. (SR)" John Gilman "The one hundred and twenty year-old, ungrafted vines in the Schubertslay vineyard have produced a stunningly beautiful Kabinett in 2020. One has to admire the Keller family for making a Kabinett here, when if they made a Grosses Gewachs it could theoretically sell for a lot more per bottle, but as the vintage excelled for Kabinett, this is what was produced here in the Schubertslay this year! The wine is stunningly good, offering up brilliant aromatic complexity in its bouquet of fresh lime, gooseberry, a gloriously complex base of slate, elder flowers, bee pollen and a distinctive topnote of currant leaf. On the palate the wine is pure, medium-bodied and filigreed, with stunning intensity of flavor, snappy acids, laser-like focus and a very, very long, seamless and dancing finish. Pure magic. (JG)"

About Weingut Keller
Weingut Keller, located in Germany's Rheinhessen region, has risen to great prominence under the guidance of Klaus Peter and Julia Keller. Despite being situated in the once unfavorable "Hügelland," or hill country, Keller has sparked a renaissance in the region. Overlooked, vineyards like Kirchspiel, Hubacker, Morstein, and Abtserde are now revered for Riesling production, commanding high praise for their exceptional dry wines.
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.
