🏰 The 2016 Keller Hubacker Riesling GG is a Grosses Gewächs from the renowned Keller estate, celebrated for its ripeness, warmth, and impressive depth. The 2016 German vintage was overall good despite a damp start, with high rainfall and late frost giving way to a more promising July, resulting in wines high in acidity and lower in alcohol. This wine presents 【riper and warmer notes, with orchard fruit, white nectarine, and apricot on the nose】. Expect medium+ intensity on the nose with 【white peach, lemon peel, orange peel, unripe mango, apricot, pineapple, firestone, and minerality】. The palate reveals stony, alkaline components that are rather hard-edged, balanced by an abundance of 【bright lemon and apple juiciness as well as a mouthwatering suffusion of mineral salts】. The finish is strikingly penetrating and persistent, featuring lemon peel, rosemary, salt, and stone. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing: This vibrant Riesling would be fantastic with steamed fish with preserved plums (梅子蒸魚), roasted pork belly with crispy skin (脆皮燒肉), or even spicy Sichuan dishes to balance the heat. 🥂 fit for event suggestion: An incredible wine in its perfect phase right now, ideal for a sophisticated dinner, a special tasting focused on German Riesling, or as a delightful aperitif to stimulate the palate.
