ABOUT THIS WINE

The GG "an aptes Erden" was first mentioned in a document in 1284. AbtsE wines are characterized by elegance and vitality. Our limestone plot has the highest activated lime content of all Westhofen vineyards, a dry stone wall protects the location to the north, underground water veins supply them with moisture. A prima ballerina on the tongue: energetic, exhilarating and classy!

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

"If you want to produce fine wine, you have to know what fine wine is all about. So the first thing you have to do is travel and drink the world's finest wines. The second, work on your vineyards meticuously." So says Klaus-Peter Keller, the proprietor of Weingut Keller, arguably the top estate in all of Germany. And we couldn't agree more.

Keller's wines are some of the most sought after, and difficult to get, wines on the market today. Jancis Robinson has described his Rieslings as the "Montrachets of Germany". Not only does he make world class dry, off-dry and sweet Rieslings, but he also makes beautiful wines from "lesser" grapes such as Sylvaner and Scheurebe. Keller also pays just as much attention and puts just as much love into his everyday wines as he does to his Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru) bottlings.
