The 2017 Weingut Keller Kirchspiel Riesling GG is a highly acclaimed white wine from Rheinhessen, Germany, produced by Weingut Keller, recognized as 【one of the finest Riesling producers in the world】. The 2017 vintage itself was characterized by high acidity, yet Keller managed to craft wines with remarkable texture and generous juiciness, making them infectiously approachable even in their youth. Critics have lauded this vintage, with James Suckling awarding 95 points, John Gilman 94 points, and Vinous 94 points. Jancis Robinson MW also gave it an impressive 19.5/20. Tasting notes reveal a refined and complex nose, offering scents of tangerine, pink grapefruit, profound limestone minerality, spring flowers, a hint of petrol, and citrus peel, complemented by a gentle dollop of wild yeasts. On the palate, it presents bright lime and grapefruit with a vivid impression of chalk suffusion, leading to a silken texture and formidable extract-richness. It's described as ripe and suave with peachy fruit, a minty note, and elegant acidity, culminating in a long, chalky, and graceful finish. The wine showcases stunning concentration, precision, and purity, with an elegant style that is endlessly long, combining intensity and finesse. Some notes also mention explosive petrol aromatics and dense tropical fruit. After decanting, impressions of green apple, grapefruit, stone fruit, and rhubarb in a salty ensemble emerge. 🍴 Food Pairing Suggestions: This vibrant and complex Riesling GG pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. For Western cuisine, consider pan-seared scallops with a lemon-butter sauce, roasted chicken with herbs, or delicate white fish preparations. It also complements richer dishes like pork belly or veal due to its cutting acidity. For Eastern cuisine, it would be an excellent match for dim sum, steamed fish with ginger and spring onion, or even subtly spiced Thai green curry, where its acidity can balance the richness and spice. 🥂 Event Suggestions: This is a serious yet approachable wine, making it suitable for a variety of occasions. It's perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special celebration, or as a thoughtful gift for a wine connoisseur. Its aging potential also makes it a great addition to a collector's cellar, promising further complexity with time.
