2011 Weingut Keller Westhofen Kirchspiel Riesling Trocken Grosses Gewachs Rheinhessen Blanc 750ml

2011 Weingut Keller Kirchspiel Grosses Gewächs: Crystalline Riesling Poise

The 2011 Weingut Keller Westhofen Kirchspiel Riesling GG 750ml is a mature, dry German white of dazzling mineral tension. In particular, the Kirchspiel vineyard faces the Rhine river in an amphitheater of pure limestone, imparting electric energy and tension. In addition, over a decade of bottle age has woven its sharp citrus acidity into complex flinty harmony.

Tasting Notes for 2011 Weingut Keller Kirchspiel Grosses Gewächs

The wine opens with expressive aromas of candied lemon peel, yellow peach, wet limestone, gunflint, and lemon thyme. Furthermore, nuanced notes of dried flowers, raw almond, and sea spray develop as the wine breathes. On the palate, a racy, crystalline acidity drives straight through a dense, textured mid-palate. Consequently, the finish lingers with mouthwatering salinity, limestone grip, and unforgettable precision.
