Kellers Abtsberg, grown entirely on limestone soils is perhaps the most delicate of his three cuvees, with a nose so fine and complex one needs to spend some time with it to allow it to open fully. Once it does it reveals huge amounts of detail, gently spiced minerals, yellow peach and fresh apricots. The palate, is where the intensity currently lies. Still reserved, it builds in whispers of extract and mineral grip, the limestone really coming through, and with it a panoply of deep citrus flavours and white pepper. Regal stuff.
One of Germany’s truly great estates, we are delighted to have been offering these wines since the 2007 vintage. Since the late eighties, Klaus Keller has rapidly gained a very serious reputation for making top flight German Riesling in both dry, fruity and sweet styles. More recently, Klaus’s son Klaus-Peter has joined the team after completing his wine-making studies at Geisenheim and is helping to drive quality forward even further. As with any top producer worth his salt, Keller believes good vineyard management is the key to success. Based in the Rhinehessen, where the wines have more generosity and richness than in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer or even Nahe, the Kellers are able to produce some of Germany’s most complete dry wines in addition to wonderful fruity and sweet late harvest styles
