2023 Weingut Keller "Von der Fels" Riesling, Rheinhessen, Germany
Lime peel on the nose, followed by white blossom and green herbs. Assertive acidity keeps the palate fresh, with intense citrus and tropical fruits, elegant salinity, and a long mineral finish. 'Entry Level", yes, but this wine soars to great heights!

ABOUT THIS WINE
“Von der Fels” is the young-vine fruit from the Grand Cru vineyards and, year after year, is simply one of the great values of not only German wine, but of white wine at large. A Riesling of pronounced limestone character.
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.
