Introducing the exquisite 'Keller Von den Grossen Lagen Assortment Case 2011'. A magnificent assortment, meticulously curated by Keller, the renowned winemaker lauded throughout the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany. This compilation eloquently demonstrates the Keller distillery's skill and their painstaking attention to detail. Esteemed for crafting wines of profound depth and complexity, every bottle in this collection is the result of an artful blend of grapes from hand-picked, premier vineyards. Grown in the mineral-rich, loess-clay soil, the Riesling grapes instil distinct character and maturity. Notably, the case includes the illustrious G-Max, which epitomises the painstaking selection process, only made in the highest quality vintages. These wines' intricate layers and palate grace are a testimony to the Keller commitment to pedantic winemaking. The 'Keller Von den Grossen Lagen Assortment Case 2011' is a luxurious homage to the fine art of German viticulture and oenology. |

Vinous (96)Riding shotgun, the 2011 Westhofener Brunnenhauschen Abtserde Riesling Grosses Gewachs is a completely different wine. This is razor-sharp on the Zen-like nose of Granny Smith apples, struck flint notes and citrus peel; you could almost describe it as uncompromising. The palate has a citric spine and tastes quite saline, with hints of orange peel. Harmonious, penetrating and ethereal, this is a brilliant Riesling from Keller, but one that you have to meet on its own terms. |

Wine Advocate (91)Lime, apple, and grapefruit with a strong influence of their skins and pips renders Keller's 2011 Westhofener Morstein Riesling Grosses Gewachs a remarkably pithy and piquant mouthful. Density and sheer persistence this also has in spades - it's almost muscle-bound - but I'll be very interested to see whether it picks up refinement, differentiation and, for want of a better word (one Keller himself favors), elegance over the course of coming decade. There is an austerely stony undertone to this entire performance; and one that didn't dissipate in a bottle that had been opened for a day. (Incidentally, this is the first vintage of Morstein to be supplemented by a portion of sixty-year-old vines that Keller recently acquired and grafted over to Riesling.) |
