The 2021 vintage for Keller's Westhofener Brunnenhäuschen Abtserde Riesling Kabinett was characterized by low yields and concentrated fruit, despite a challenging growing season with a late flowering, small crop, and a rainy summer. However, a cool August mitigated threats, leading to slow ripening and high acid retention. Winemaker Klaus-Peter Keller himself lauded 2021 as a "gift" vintage, expressing a desire for "every vintage to be like 2021!" This particular wine is part of a bumper crop of Kabinetts from a year that many colleagues found difficult for the category. 【Jancis Robinson has famously described Keller's Rieslings as the "Montrachets of Germany"】. This Riesling Kabinett presents with remarkable elegance and charm, offering precise aromas and an incredibly long finish. Expect an energetic and exhilarating profile, often described as a "prima ballerina on the tongue." Tasting notes frequently highlight a slightly off-dry character, balanced by vibrant minerality, sea-salt, oyster brine, and lemon peel. Further nuances include notes of lemon, lemongrass, chalk, pear, and chamomile, with a crisp texture and light stone and mineral undertones. Aromas of pear, grapefruit, apple blossom, and jam also contribute to its complexity. This versatile Kabinett Riesling is an excellent companion to a variety of dishes. It shines with East Asian cuisine, particularly those with a touch of spice, and is superb with lighter seafood preparations or fresh salads. It also pairs beautifully with mild cheeses or can be enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif. With its "huge drinkability factor" and ability to age gracefully for 5, 10, or even 20+ years, this wine is perfect for celebrating special milestones, an elegant dinner party, or simply as a sophisticated treat to unwind. Its energetic and classy profile makes it suitable for any occasion where a touch of brilliance is desired.
