Awards/Ratings
Consistently well reviewed by major critics — Jancis Robinson noted exotic citrus and spicy, firm freshness (reviewed 2023); Vinous and international critics praise Keller’s Rieslings and estate quality; past vintages have earned high scores from Vinous, James Suckling and Wine Advocate

Tasting Note
Fresh citrus (lime, lemon), green apple and white-peach notes with herbal/licorice spice, ginger and wet-stone minerality; bright, saline acidity and a focused, stony finish.

Food Pairing
Oysters, shellfish, grilled white fish, roast chicken, goat or fresh cheeses; sashimi/sushi, steamed fish, Vietnamese fresh rolls, lightly spiced Thai or Chinese dishes (green curry, ginger‑garlic seafood).

Production Method
Hand-harvested fruit; spontaneous (indigenous) yeast fermentation in stainless steel, matured several months on lees with minimal intervention.

Vineyard Info
Family estate since 1789, led by Klaus‑Peter Keller; ca. 20–21 ha including many Grosse Lage sites (Hubacker, Morstein, Abtserde, Kirchspiel) in Dalsheim/Westhofen.
