2022 Keller Riesling Trocken 750Ml Bottle

Why is this wine so great? because 85% of Keller's holdings are grossen lagen (grand cru) sites, but only 15% of the wine produced is labelled as GG (a dry wine from a grossen lagen site). Much of the wines from these grand cru sites finds its way into the Trocken and the other wines listed below. The Keller family continue to buy small plots in great sites, and to keep "small", lease off lesser ones to other winemakers. This better overall source of grapes, combined with even more obsessive work in the vines and then foot stomping / judicious skin-contact in the cellar is resulting in even better wines of great tension and power. Here is a great example, a wine with lime, lemon, slight peach, lemongrass and a yeasty / struck rock nuances that dances with the beautiful acidity and almost chewy phenolic grip in a symphony of complexity.
