Awards/Ratings
Noted critical praise and strong merchant scores — John Gilman 93 (Limestone Kabinett, 2018) and consistent high retailer/press scores; Norwegian Aperitif ~89; widely recommended for quality and aging potential

Tasting Note
Bright lime and citrus blossom with white-peach and green-apple notes, crushed-stone minerality, saline streak and lively, filigreed acidity; subtle Kabinett sweetness balances a long, precision finish.

Food Pairing
Western: seared scallops, lemon‑prawn risotto, goat‑cheese salad, roast chicken with herbs. Asian: sushi/sashimi, tempura, Thai green curry, spicy Sichuan or mapo tofu, Vietnamese spring rolls.

Production Method
Hand-harvested fruit, short (up to ~40h) skin contact, whole-bunch/basket pressing, ambient-yeast fermentation in stainless steel; fermentation arrested to retain Kabinett residual sugar and rested on lees ~1 year.

Vineyard Info
Weingut Klaus‑Peter Keller (family estate since 1789) farms limestone-rich parcels in Westhofen (Kirchspiel, Abtserde, Morstein); low yields, organic practices and terroir-driven winemaking under Klaus‑Peter and Julia Keller.
