The 2014 Keller Riesling Hubacker Großes Gewächs (GG) is a highly regarded dry white Riesling from Rheinhessen, Germany. The Hubacker vineyard is known for producing wines with a cool, stony minerality. The 2014 vintage was a rollercoaster growing season that ultimately came right at the end. This wine is described as having a very wide spectrum of fruit aromas, from Asian pear to a hint of exotic fruit, via mandarin orange. Tasting notes often highlight earthy notes like minerals, honey, and stone, alongside tree fruit notes of peach, apple, and apricot, and citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit. It is praised for its elegance, depth, and complexity, with a vibrant acidity and a long, energetic finish. Some reviewers note a youthful and refined bouquet with elements of grapefruit, tart orange, minerality, fleur de sel, dried flowers, wild yeasts, and a topnote of orange peel. While drinkable now, it is suggested that this wine still needs several more years of bottle age to truly stir and reach its full potential. 【A seriously structured, finely etched dry Riesling with significant aging potential】. 🍴 Food Pairing Suggestions: This versatile dry Riesling pairs well with a variety of dishes. Excellent Western pairings include pork, shellfish, poultry, and spicy food. Consider roasted pork loin, pan-seared scallops, or chicken in a creamy sauce. It also complements root vegetables and squashes. For Eastern cuisine, think of spicy Szechuan dishes, delicate steamed fish, or even sushi and sashimi. 🥂 Event Suggestions: This wine is suitable for a sophisticated lunch, a casual gathering with friends, or as an accompaniment to a gourmet meal. Its complexity and ability to age also make it a great choice for a wine tasting focused on German Rieslings or as a gift for a Riesling enthusiast.
