2024 Keller Von der Fels
'The winery’s calling card, says Keller. [..] Average vine age 30 years. No longer really the young vines though that is how this cuvée started. Lightly flinty aroma, pure salty-sour citrus. More mineral and less Riesling-defined than usual. High acid, great tension. [..] Tight, bone dry, sinewy but with a mouth-watering grapefruit-like fruit foundation. Texture, too, with high dry extract in 2024 giving body to balance the freshness. Acidity is high but integrated.' 17/20 Julia Harding, Jancisrobinson.com
2024 Keller RR
The Keller Riesling RR usually comes from the heart of the Kirchspiel grossen lagen (grand cru), where the soil is decomposed reddish limestone. This is a flamboyant and exotic wine that Keller ‘lets off the hook’ – usually only a single cask that does not ferment to full dryness. The small amount of residual sweetness lends both opulence and exoticism, matches with a killer line of acidity. KP has joked that in vintages like this the RR stands for Rolls Royce! This is a wine that ages beautifully. Randall
2022 Wagner Stempel GG Heerkretz
'Still very young, but with a combination of great concentration, great tension and great minerality, this incredible dry Riesling marries all of this with an astonishing gracefulness. With aeration in the glass aromas of a wide spectrum of exotic fruits, curry leaves and Thai basil develop. In spite of this extravagance on the mid-palate it is a prima ballerina standing en pointe. So pure and precise at the super-salty mineral finish you can’t resist. ' 99 points - Stuart Pigott, James Suckling
2022 Wagner Stempel GG Hollberg
'The first thing that strikes you is the huge stone fruit ripeness in the nose, but then comes the striking exotic fruit and herb freshness, and when you take the first sip the wet stone intensity and vibrancy are truly staggering. Breathtakingly brilliant mineral finish that’s austere in the best possible way. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.' 98 Points - Stuart Pigott, James Suckling
