Keller Westhofen Abtserde Riesling Großes Gewächs 2019

99/100 PP

"Grown only 200 meters away from the old-vines Morstein, the 2019 Abts E(rde) Riesling GG combines perfect fruit ripeness with delicate concentration as well as notes of chalk, flint and iron. There is a similarity to both Kirchspiel (minty, herbal and chalky notes) and Morstein (transcendency), but this has unique ripeness and concentration of fruit, with shredded lemon rind and unique finesse. Round and juicy on the palate, this is a supple and intense yet delicate and silky Riesling with a firm structure built by very fine tannins and remarkably fine acidity. There is this slushy chalkiness combined with lemon oil typical for this terroir. The finish is highly intense and long."

100/100 JS

"Why fret, why worry if you can drink this unbelievable wine? Mind-blowing nose of apricot, fresh pineapple and a thousand spices. Ravishing interplay of fruit, acidity, minerals and so much else that isn't easy to describe in a few measly words. The ultra long finish is so uplifting and utterly joyful. Drink or hold."
(James Suckling, jamessuckling.com)

"Wenn ich nur einen einzigen Wein zeigen dürfte um zu beweisen, wie großartig trockener deutscher Riesling mit seiner einzigartigen Finesse und großen Mineralität schmecken kann, würde ich einen Keller-Riesling wählen. Diese phantastischen Weine sind die deutschen Montrachets – Man hat den Eindruck, dass sie immer noch ein bisschen besser werden."
(Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine, Financial Times)
