The 2014 Keller Spätburgunder S is a German Pinot Noir from Rheinhessen, a region where Keller is renowned for setting the benchmark for German Pinot Noir. The 2014 vintage in Germany was challenging due to a mild winter and warm spring, which meant vines may not have gone fully dormant. Despite this, the wine presents a bright, transparent crimson color with a sweetly ripe nose and lively freshness on the palate. It is described as a little slimmer and more backward than its flanking vintages, yet very precise and pretty with impressive length and a bone-dry finish. Critics have noted a generous, almost-perfumed fragrance uniting black cherries, floral aromas, a dusty sprinkling of spice, and a hint of chocolate. The palate offers rich dark fruit complemented by assertive tannins, juicy acidity, and fine mineral components reminiscent of iodine and graphite, showcasing an elegant and sophisticated Spätburgunder. 【Keller is one of the finest Riesling producers in the world, and has set the benchmark for German Pinot Noir.】 Food pairing suggestions include beef, veal, poultry, and game. Given its light and perfumed red style, it would also pair well with meaty and oily fish like salmon, mackerel, or tuna. This wine is ready to drink now but has potential to evolve. It's suitable for a sophisticated dinner party, a special occasion celebrating German wines, or a quiet evening enjoying a nuanced red.
