FEATURES
The 2024 Keller Limestone Riesling Kabinett, already bottled and released, exemplifies Weingut Keller's mastery in crafting Rieslings of crystalline purity and textural depth. Klaus-Peter Keller has elevated his family estate to a global benchmark for dry Riesling, with a particular focus on the limestone-rich vineyards of Rheinhessen. This Kabinett, drawing fruit from the celebrated Abtserde and Morstein vineyards, offers a lighter, more delicate, and off-dry expression of their renowned terroir. Despite its youth, it's remarkably pleasant to drink, showcasing a light, translucent color. The nose is fresh and mineral, with soft sweetness of orchard fruits like bruised apple, pear, and peach, brightened by green apple, lime, and quince, all underpinned by a flinty, stony note. The palate delivers a fresh experience with a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity, juicy grapefruit, a touch of pineapple, and a faint honeyed edge, with richness kept in check by light minerality and salinity, and a backbone of crushed stone. It's an intense Kabinett with excellent balance, even with its high acidity, and will benefit from a little time to become less primary.
