The 2022 Keller Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Grosses Gewächs is a highly acclaimed dry Riesling from Rheinhessen, Germany. The vintage benefited from an unprecedently warm summer across Europe. This wine, harvested from vines planted in 1964, showcases a cool, pure breeze of lemon balm and freshly cut, ripe lemon on the nose. The palate is taut and tender, shimmering with ripe Mirabelle, driven and zesty, with a bone-dry finish that holds a shimmer of lemon and limestone. Critics have praised its super-elegant, high-end character, combining restrained ripeness with lively and subtle acidity. It's noted for its purity, vibrancy, finesse, and elegance, with flavors of herbs, blossoms, lemon, grapefruit, and a truly electrifying acidity. 【Critically acclaimed with high scores from Vinous (96 points), James Suckling (95 points), and Wine Advocate (94 points)】.
