FEATURES
The 2023 Keller Westhofener Morstein Riesling GG hails from Weingut Keller, an estate that has become a global benchmark for dry Riesling, known for its precision and expression. The Morstein vineyard, a historic holding since the 13th century, is celebrated for its active limestone and clay-marl soils, contributing to the wine's longevity and complexity. This particular vintage is crafted from vines planted as early as 1944, or 75-year-old vines, underscoring its profound heritage. The 2023 vintage was tasted as a sample in May 2024 and is expected to be released no earlier than May 2025, indicating its extreme youth and immense potential. 【A monumental, age-worthy Grosses Gewächs Riesling from the legendary Keller estate's historic Morstein vineyard, showcasing crystalline purity and profound depth.】
This monumental Grosses Gewächs Riesling is incredibly dense, bright, and fresh, leaping out with a deep well of yellow peaches, Mirabelle plums, and fresh almonds, interwoven with a vein of salty minerality. It presents a highly aromatic nose of wet chalk, lemon juice, and yellow plum, with a subtle touch of reduction that gives way to white peach, lemon balm, and chervil. The palate is full-bodied, pure, and refined, offering a juicy, savory, saline, and finely chalky texture. It boasts a gigantic length with a breathtakingly energetic, citrusy, and chalky finish, embodying smooth serenity and cooling depth, a luminous wine of impeccable purity and poise.
