The 2022 Keller G-Max Riesling is an iconic release, initially described as a concentrated and intense yet still reductive purist. Compared to the 2021 or 2019 vintages, this 2022 is considered a rather slender, elegant, and perhaps less dramatic G-Max. This wine is renowned for its exceptional aging potential, promising decades of development. The G-Max is a tribute to great-grandfather George and son Max, with its vineyard sources famously kept a secret. It offers an "explosive youthful freshness" and a "shimmering interplay of flintiness with fine stone and exotic fruit aromas." The wine boasts "breathtaking energy and minerality" and a "fantastic lime freshness at the almost endless finish." The nose is dense, enormously aromatic, and fruity, interwoven with yeasty and salty notes. On the palate, it is dense, round, and juicy, delivering generous, accessible fruit balanced by a fine, mineral acid structure. Additional tasting notes include tropical fruits like pineapple and lychee, cream, mint, pepper, butter, chocolate, toast, perfume, asparagus, apricot, peach, white peach, minerals, kerosene, stone, lime, orange, and citrus. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: Excellent with root vegetables and squashes. It also pairs well with pork, shellfish, poultry, spicy food, and cured meats. 🥂 Event suggestions: This iconic wine is perfect for collectors and those seeking a profound, age-worthy dry Riesling. While enjoyable upon release, its true character will unfold over 10 or more years. It is an ideal choice for significant celebrations or a serious wine tasting. 【Iconic, immensely concentrated dry Riesling with breathtaking energy and decades of aging potential】
