The 2012 Keller Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewächs is a superb white wine from Rheinhessen, Germany, just beginning to emerge from its hibernation and showing great potential for aging. Critics have lauded this vintage, with John Gilman describing it as "magical" and "brilliantly refined and complete," rating it 94+ points. Falstaff also awarded it 96 points in 2013. The wine presents a complex bouquet of pink grapefruit, tart orange, crystal clear minerality, wild yeasts, dried flowers, citrus peel, and a touch of beeswax. On the palate, it is deep, full-bodied, and pure, with a fine core, excellent focus, vibrant acidity, and a long, seamless finish. Joel Payne of Vinous noted subtle aromas of white peach, pine nuts, and lime, with a hint of persimmon, and a crisp structure with invigorating nectarine fruit and salty minerality. This vintage is considered one of the most elegant and finest Hubacker wines. 【Superb aging potential, with a drinking window extending to 2080.】 🍴 Food Pairing: This elegant Riesling pairs wonderfully with root vegetables and squashes. Its vibrant acidity and complex fruit notes would also complement rich fish dishes or even a chermoula and harrisa crusted barramundi. 🥂 Event Fit: Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party or a special celebration, especially for those who appreciate aged Rieslings. It's also an excellent choice for a wine tasting focused on German Grosses Gewächs, showcasing its potential for long-term cellaring.
