2024 Keller Riesling "Limestone", Rheinhessen, Germany

100% Riesling Klaus-Peter, who trained abroad in South Africa and in Burgundy (at Domaines Hubert Lignier and Armand Rousseau) prior to taking his degree in oenology and viticulture in Geisenheim, has worked alongside his father in the family vineyards throughout much of his life. Klaus-Peter and his wife Julia took over the day to day direction of Weingut Keller with the 2001 vintage. Then the estate was better known for its traditional dry wines than it was for its dry Rieslings. In the cellars, Klaus-Peter has made a few changes, but the vast majority of the focus continues to be on the vineyard work. The white wines now are fermented more in old oak fuder, rather than in stainless steel. Klaus-Peter also allows the grapes to macerate on their skins for thirty or forty hours for many of his white wines. Dry, mineral-driven white wine from Rheinhessen, crafted by the renowned Weingut Keller. Grown on limestone-rich soils, it shows crisp acidity, citrus and stone fruit aromas, and a distinct chalky minerality. The palate is precise and elegant, with excellent aging potential.
