Despite a challenging 2021 vintage in Germany, marked by fluctuating winter temperatures and replenishing rains, the Keller Oberer Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewachs stands out. It is lauded for its enormous power, concentration, and extremely vivid acidity. This Riesling presents an explosive, aromatic, mineral, and savory profile. On the nose and palate, expect pear and apple notes laced with marjoram and sage, strongly marked by their pits, creating a forceful, pungent, and piquant presentation with a smoky aura. A vivid stoniness prevails, giving an impression of density-without-weight, suggesting a tightly-coiled and embryonic wine. The finish is gripping, almost implacable, with biting intensity and severe stoniness. Amazing apricot and King Alphonso mango aromas are prominent, leading to a very long, stony, and salty finish. Floral notes develop in the glass, and the palate is dry and salty with exceptional length. 【Dubbed the 'Montrachets of Germany,' this wine offers enormous power, concentration, and extremely vivid acidity, making it a true collectible.】 🍴 This powerful Riesling pairs exceptionally well with root vegetables and squashes. 🥂 The 2021 Keller Oberer Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewachs is a young wine, still tightly coiled and just beginning to open up. It is suitable for drinking from release, but has a long aging potential, with recommendations to drink between 2026 and 2038, or to hold.
