The 2013 Keller Hubacker Riesling from Rheinhessen is a benchmark dry white wine, emblematic of both the iconic Weingut Keller estate and the region itself. The Hubacker vineyard, with its distinctive limestone-rich soils, bestows upon the wine an exceptional elegance and minerality. Despite being a cooler vintage, 2013 contributed remarkable freshness, vivid acidity, and a refined structure, allowing this Riesling to age gracefully while retaining its precise character. Winemaker Klaus-Peter Keller navigated unpredictable weather patterns in 2013, ultimately producing impressively balanced dry Rieslings, albeit with lower crop levels. Tasting Notes: This Riesling offers precise citrus, stone fruit, and subtle herbal notes. It's often described as a "shapeshifter," with beautiful aromatics that constantly evolve, revealing grapefruit, tangerine, mint, lime, and various mineral flavors. The bouquet can also present scents of blood orange, menthol, beeswax, lemon peel, and a complex base of limestone minerality. On the palate, it is crisp, full-bodied, and suave, with a fine core of fruit, bright acids, excellent cut and grip, leading to a long, complex finish. Food Pairing: This dry Riesling excels with a range of seafood dishes, such as grilled turbot or scallops in a light citrus sauce. It also beautifully complements poultry dishes like roast chicken with tarragon, traditional Rheinhessen fare like Zwiebelkuchen (onion tart), and even mild Thai cuisine. Event Suggestions: A complex and evolving dry Riesling, the 2013 Keller Hubacker is perfect for a special occasion or a contemplative tasting experience. Its significant aging potential makes it an excellent candidate for cellaring. Serve slightly chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F); decanting is recommended to allow its full depth and minerality to express themselves. 【Benchmark dry Riesling from Rheinhessen's iconic Weingut Keller】
