FEATURES
The 2024 Weingut Keller Kirchspiel Riesling GG is already highly anticipated and lauded by critics such as Falstaff, Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator as a benchmark for terroir-focused Riesling. This Grosses Gewächs hails from Kirchspiel, one of Rheinhessen's most iconic sites, where Keller's oldest vines, planted in 1964, contribute extraordinary depth and finesse. The 2024 vintage was produced in exceptionally limited quantities, making this already sought-after wine even more difficult to find. Optimal drinking maturity is projected to begin in 2029 and can evolve beautifully over decades. The wine displays clear minerality, delicate fruit, and balanced freshness, with notes of green apple, citrus, and peach, supported by a distinctive chalky minerality. On the palate, it is compact yet elegant, with lively acidity providing structure and a long, silky finish that marries fruit clarity with profound depth. Wine Advocate awarded it 95 points, noting its elegant and floral nose, delicate citrus and white peach aromas, and a fresh, taut, and pure palate with crunchy salt in the finish.
Food pairing suggestions include oysters, scallops, grilled salmon, or creamy risotto, as these dishes ideally complement the wine's salty minerality and freshness. It also pairs wonderfully with roast pork, schnitzel, lobster, smoked fish, rich poultry dishes, and aged Gouda.
Given its exceptional quality, significant aging potential, and rarity, this wine is perfectly suited for a celebratory event, a serious wine tasting, or as a prized addition to a collector's cellar. It is a wine to be savored and appreciated for its complex expression of terroir. 【A highly sought-after, benchmark Grosses Gewächs Riesling from one of Rheinhessen's most iconic sites, produced in extremely limited quantities】
