FEATURES
The 2023 Weingut Keller Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Grosses Gewachs hails from a steep, east-to-southeast facing amphitheatre vineyard with chalk-rich marl over limestone, renowned for producing wines of clarity and aromatic lift. Weingut Keller is considered central to the modern understanding of dry Riesling, setting a global benchmark for precision and expression. The 2023 vintage is described as a complex and structured wine that still manages to dance on your palate with a certain playfulness on the nose.
On the nose, it offers pure, serene, ripe lemon notes suffused with creaminess and an ethereal overtone. The palate reveals juicy citrus, lemon balm, and white peach, being concentrated and zesty yet creamy, with inherent depth and a gently textural stoniness. It finishes with tingling freshness, pleasant astringency, and gorgeous length. Other tasting notes include peaches, Mirabelle plums, lemon zest, summer flowers, and mint, all guided by a fine chalky minerality. It's lush and round on the palate, an elegant, finessed, and concentrated wine with intense, tight, and saline-finishing characteristics, complemented by fine tannins, minty notes, and white pepper on the finish.
🍴 Food pairing suggestions include root vegetables and squashes. It also pairs wonderfully with roast white meats, fresh seafood, and fried food.
🥂 This wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special celebration, or any occasion where a complex and elegant white wine is desired. Its freshness and depth also make it an excellent choice for a celebratory lunch. 【Global benchmark for precision and expression in dry Riesling from a renowned chalk-rich vineyard.】
