Awards/Ratings
Vinous 95; Jancis Robinson 18/20; notable 'Prince Louis' commemorative bottling (royal presentations/auction interest)

Tasting Note
Honeysuckle and orange blossom with lemon, white peach and quince; saline slate minerality, delicate sweetness balanced by vibrant, chiseled acidity, silky texture and a long citrus-tinged finish.

Food Pairing
Roast pork, lemon chicken, crab or scallops, goat cheese, sushi and sashimi, dim sum, spicy Thai or Szechuan dishes, grilled or steamed fish.

Production Method
Hand-harvested grapes from Hipping; Kabinett-style winemaking with gentle pressing and cool fermentation (native yeasts or fuder/stainless), leaving residual sugar to balance high acidity.

Vineyard Info
Weingut Keller (family estate since 1789) in Nierstein; Klaus‑Peter Keller restored and elevated the domaine with meticulous viticulture and low‑intervention cellar practices.
