Riesling

One of the world's great grape varieties and the acknowledged king of German vineyards, also important in Alsace, Riesling goes through a number of ripening phases making it incredibly varied. Picked early it can form a base wine for Methode Champenoise; a little later, it makes a wonderfully crisp, aromatic lemon-lime filled dry white. A little riper the grapes produce an excellent, slightly sweet 'Spatlese' wine, later again an 'Auslese', and so on. In Australia, crisp, minerally, citrus-led styles dominate, with regions like South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia producing the finest examples. Fish, shellfish and crustaceans are perfect partners.

    $983.88 Dozen
    ABV: 8.5%
    Closure: Cork

    The Weber family of Hofgut Falkenstein have been making ultra-traditional Rieslings in the Saar district of the Mosel region since the mid-eighties; there they farm about 9 hectares in and around the villages of Niedermennig and Krettnach. Erich, the family winzer (winegrower in german) works alongside his middle son Johannes, who has joined him full-time in the vineyards and cellar in recent years. Ever since there has been more of a focus on Rieslings with residual sugar. The emphasis on their work is in the vineyard, where no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers are employed and cover crops are grown to encourage biodiversity and, when necessary, competition with the vines for water. With their straightforward approach to winemaking the Webers craft light, distinctive and racy Rieslings displaying well-integrated acidity from their low yielding old vines, and are bottled traditionally by the cask.

    The 2022er Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese Feinherb Palm (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from different small parcels on the western side of the vineyard and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar. Slightly reductive at first, this quickly opens up to reveal beautiful notes of vineyard peach, Conference pear, minty herbs, and stone fruits. The wine proves incredibly creamy and refined on the delicately smooth and beautifully refined palate. The finish is more focused as zesty elements come through. Aromatic and fruity flavors are wrapped into fine spices and herbal elements in the after-taste. Drink 2027-2042.

    The 2022er Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Auslese Förster (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) was made from clean fruit harvested rather late at 90° Oechsle from vines planted in the 1960s in the prime Gross Schock sector of the vineyard and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a fresh and delicately floral nose of bright white and yellow fruits, candied grapefruit, may tree, cassis, and smoke. The wine is magnificently playful and juicy on the clean and bright palate. The finish is very long and crystal clear. This is a splendid and refined Auslese. Drink 2032-2062.

    The 2025 Watervale Riesling is tightly coiled and water-white in flavors, with lemon zest, green apple, white flowers and a hint of pear. This is fresh and crunchy and defined by its purity and clarity. It's a wine that has a surprising ability to age despite the price point and one that looks so good in its youth. This is a compelling wine for the money….
    Drink 2025-2035.

    Tense and mouth watering with a long electric finish.

    Jim Barry purchased the Lodge Hill vineyard in 1977, convinced that it would produce some of the best Riesling in Clare. Situated on the eastern ranges of the township of Clare, it is one of the highest vineyards in the Valley at an altitude of 480 metres, and is ideal for producing steely, minerally Rieslings, distinctive to the area.
    Brilliant water like core with a faint greenish tinge around the outskirts. Lime, lemon and orange rind scents jump out of the glass followed by some chalky talc and mineral notes.

    One of the highest vineyards in the Clare Valley at 480m, next to Petaluma's celebrated Hanlin Hill vineyard, and looking out to Spencer Gulf, 65 km away. Classic dry Clare style, with lemon, lime and apple blossom aromas, the strongly structured palate following suit with a base of chalky/minerally acidity. (Tasted 2014).

    Focused lime and citrus fruits complexed by a multitude of tertiary elements within a tense waxy feel.

    Brilliant pale straw core with gleaming green tinged edges and a watery hue. Intense lime and citrus aromas are welded to oily toast, kerosene, lemon butter, faint bees wax and spice notes. Focused lime and citrus fruits remain in the drivers seat with notions of bees wax, oily toast like characters, lemon butter and wet steel extending across the back half.

    Superb aged riesling, always released to excellent effect following a decade of bottle age. Light-weighted, with an intensity of flavor and precision that belies its balletic gait. Think spiced quince, honeydew, candied citrus, lemon balm and a faint whiff of kerosene. Yet there is nothing untoward here. The acidity is nicely nestled into what feels like an almost plump mid-palate after the effects of ageing. This is a cooler block on this esteemed site, its wine really sitting pretty. Drink now. Screw cap.

    A very mature release here. Patience from the Barry family, delivered to you. Magnificent. Complex, supple and loaded with honey toast, truffle and sugared almond. The calling cards of lime, preserved lemon and spicy ginger work their magic in bouquet and palate. A gourmet wine, with so much going on in each mouthful and plenty to savour. Complexity, structure and vitality all here, too. This is a superb cellar release. Drink by 2030.

    Mike Bennie – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

    Australian wine producers do love having the word ‘block’ in a wine name. I’ll knock your flamin’ block off you drongo. Vineyard sits at 497 metres above sea level. Planted in 1979.
    Lime, lemon zest, honey, quince, mint, a discreet petrol top note, slightly spicy too. It has more flavour and less overt acidity than the Block 114, a lick of spice and dried peel, some toasty complexity, with some Bickford’s lime cordial on a dry finish of excellent length and dusty grip.
    Very good aged Clare Riesling, and distinctive in that style. Drink 2023-2033+

    The wines of Graacher Himmelreich often challenge those from Wehlener Sonnenuhr, especially in hot, dry years. They feature racy acidity, a pronounced minerality, and distinct fruit aromas and flavours. They often become accessible slightly earlier than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr wines and are delightfully mouthwatering. The hill faces slightly more westerly and has deeper soils than Wehlener Sonnenuhr, which act as excellent water reservoirs. With a gradient of 45 to 65 percent, the soils, if they can even be called soils, consist of deeply weathered Devonian slate interspersed with parcels of blue slate.

    The 2024 Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett displays very clear and delicate yet aromatic ripe fruit. Tender and delicate on the palate, this is a slender, filigreed Riesling with fine character and lovely elegance. The wine is a light-footed classic and refreshingly invigorating. This is AP 02 26. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026. Drink 2026-2050.

    The 2024 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett is still a little flinty but tender green apple shows through. The palate stays on this beautifully bright side where fruitiness is juicy and tart, but its freshness is absolutely subsumed and intertwined with ripeness. Its beautiful lightness is grounded in slaty stone like a scented breeze. The 2024 is gorgeous. Drink 2025-2050.

    The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard has become intrinsically tied to the name of Joh. Jos. Prum. The estate owns seven hectares of this majestic site, which is largely planted with ungrafted vines and features very thin topsoil over Devonian slate (in some areas, the plants grow directly out of pure rock). Wehlener Sonnenuhr has the highest pure stone content of all the Prum vineyards and, along with neighbouring Zeltingen, is the steepest, boasting a dizzying 65 to 70 percent gradient. The forest resting above the vineyard also acts as a natural water regulator for the slope.

    The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett opens with subtle hints of creamy woodruff, candied angelica and wet slate. The palate is lightness itself, like a veil of scented fruit referencing green apple, supple, sweet but tart citrus, like juicy, pale pomelo, rounded out with a touch of white peach. It is wonderfully serene, cooling, elegant and precise. Drink 2025-2050.

    The vineyards of Bernkasteler Badstube border those of Graacher Himmelreich. The slopes sit on a marginally shallower gradient with deeper soils than both Graach and Wehlen. A south-westerly orientation allows the vines longer exposure to the afternoon sun. Badstube typically produces wonderfully floral, delicate, and mineral-driven wines. Overall, these wines are usually slightly more delicate on the palate than their siblings from Graacher Himmelreich and Wehlener Sonnenuhr.

    The 2024 Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese offers a nose that is both intensely fruity and delicately spiced, with notes of almost tropical fruits and subtle vegetal undertones. Juicy and piquant on the palate, this lush yet finely textured and well-structured Riesling develops a refreshingly cool note with a firm structure and elegant tartness. This is a fantastic Badstube Spätlese to pair with food, especially since it doesn’t actually taste sweet. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026 from AP 06 25.

    The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr vineyard borders the northern boundary of Wehlener Sonnenuhr. It is a warm site with a large percentage of ungrafted vines. Joh. Jos. Prum's parcel comes from a patch of old vines, aged 60 to 70 years, planted directly around the sundial. The vines here are said to be the hardest working in the Prum vineyards due to the younger slate's lower water-holding capacity, meaning the roots must work overtime to achieve the same concentration levels as the other vineyards.

    The 2024 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese has a very delicate nose that is characterized by subtle notes of weathered slate and herbs. The wine is light, elegant and subtly spicy, resting on a mineral-rich foundation that fully integrates its fruit and thus makes it appear less fruity. It's an exquisite, very refined and sophisticated Spätlese of remarkable delicacy and with a lingering saltiness.7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 09 25 in March 2026.

    The 2024 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese offers wet stone and dried herbs on the nose, almost like deadnettle crushed on slate, with the tenderest smokiness. The palate then adds a gorgeous streak of ripe Reine Claude plum with a juiciness that softens the stone. It becomes agile, sinuous and animated. What lovely character, subtlety, elegance and astonishing saltiness this has that seemingly swallows most of the sweetness. Its subtle, stony length is remarkable. Drink 2028-2060.

    The apricot aromas make this Spatlese stand out from the pack in the 2024 vintage. But there’s nothing opulent about this wine in spite of the generous juiciness on the medium-bodied palate. In fact, it is sleek, focused and very crisp in the long, complete finish. Drink or hold.

Tasted at the domaine from AP 08 25 in March 2026. Drink 2026-2065.

    The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is a total tease. Aromatic citrus shimmers on the nose, uniting grapefruit, tangerine and bergamot scents. Citrus foliage adds an extra frisson of freshness. The palate homes in on that line between tartness and the ripe aroma that you find only in the most exquisite citrus fruits. The 2024 has an allure and fusion of impressions that is inextricable and therefore beguiling. It is simply wonderful, fresh, light and so elegant. Drink 2028-2060.

    Creamy and dreamy, with white peach, honeysuckle and pomelo aromas plus minty freshness. Really succulent, but every bit as animating on the medium-bodied palate. Then the vibrant acidity wipes up the natural grape sweetness in the finish with great alacrity and creates wonderful tension with the whole basket of fruit flavors. Drink or hold.

    The wines of Graacher Himmelreich often challenge those from Wehlener Sonnenuhr, especially in hot, dry years. They feature racy acidity, a pronounced minerality, and distinct fruit aromas and flavours. They often become accessible slightly earlier than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr wines and are delightfully mouthwatering. The hill faces slightly more westerly and has deeper soils than Wehlener Sonnenuhr, which act as excellent water reservoirs. With a gradient of 45 to 65 percent, the soils, if they can even be called soils, consist of deeply weathered Devonian slate interspersed with parcels of blue slate.

    The 2024 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese is pure and flinty on the intense and stony nose that reveals herbal and saline notes along with blackcurrant and dark plum skin aromas. Lush and precise on the palate, this is a concentrated yet refined and elegant, mouth-filling and textured Auslese based on ripe and partly overripe grapes. AP 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026. Drink 2026-2060.

    The 2024 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese contains almost no botrytized fruit. Only the slightest note of zesty lemon breaks through on the shy nose. More air reveals a hint of mint sorbet. The palate, however, adds an intriguing sweetness that is so akin to the wonderfully zesty notions of green tangerine peel. The next wave of flavor pushes into greengage and juicy white peach notes, always tempered by vivid citrus. The 2024 has gorgeous linearity and such a tingling, sherbet-like insistence. It is simply wonderful and so utterly balanced. Drink 2030-2065.

    In spite of the generous ripeness, the dominant aromas and flavors are Amalfi lemons, yellow grapefruit and pomelo with some fresh herbal notes. Very bright and racy, the finish much drier than you might expect for this frankly sweet category. Long, energetic, herbal finish with fascinating grapefruit bitterness and salty minerality. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.

    The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard has become intrinsically tied to the name of Joh. Jos. Prum. The estate owns seven hectares of this majestic site, which is largely planted with ungrafted vines and features very thin topsoil over Devonian slate (in some areas, the plants grow directly out of pure rock). Wehlener Sonnenuhr has the highest pure stone content of all the Prum vineyards and, along with neighbouring Zeltingen, is the steepest, boasting a dizzying 65 to 70 percent gradient. The forest resting above the vineyard also acts as a natural water regulator for the slope.

    The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Goldkapsel is alive with citrus foliage, zest and the sweetest fruit aromas. Its tanginess tingles on the nose and continues right on the palate. Vivid freshness and poise define pale white peach flesh on the palate, tempered by a gorgeous, tangy orange peel note that attains a subtle edge of candy.

    This smells like an entire florist’s store, but there’s nothing overpowering about it at all. Very concentrated and complete, with fantastic floral honey richness and great underlying freshness, this is a very great Mosel Auslese. Still only medium-bodied in spite of the generous unfermented grape sweetness, and so incredibly clean and pure in the super-long finish. Drink or hold.

    The 2024 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese Goldkapsel was made with botrytized fruit from bunches in various stages of shriveling. A slight touch of honey precedes notes of crushed peach flesh and peach compote, while a tropical frisson suggests some passion fruit. The concentrated palate homes in on those gorgeously ripe and aromatic stone fruit scents with a tart, alluring edge. The 2024 is exquisitely delineated, absolutely pure and precise, with heightened expressions of clear fruit enhanced and clarified rather than obliterated by botrytis. The 2024 is gorgeous. Finesse is everything here. Drink 2030-2065.

    The deep nose of candied citrus and dried flowers pulls you into this very succulent and firmly structured Auslese. The floral honey character and creaminess from botrytis is beautifully interwoven with the salty and wet-stone minerality. Incredibly long and refined finish with great honeyed complexity. Limited production due to spring frost damage. Drink or hold.

    The sensuous curves of Art Nouveau design and joyful flourishes of rococo both give an idea of what Mosel riesling elegance means, but in a masterpiece like this it takes on a totally distinctive feeling unlike anything else on Planet Wine. The white peach fruit, white flower aromas and slatey minerality all tingle on your palate, then flicker on and on in a totally fascinating manner in the nearly endless finish. The touch of sweetness is already beautifully integrated, although the wine just began a decades-long life. Drink or hold.

    This fabulous Auslese lays out a whole basket of exotic fruit before you. The almost supernatural freshness is no less exciting. Terrific tension between the two, the acidity giving this great brilliance on the extremely precise, medium-bodied palate. The finish almost perfectly balances the restrained richness and intense wet-stone minerality. Limited production. Still very youthful, but how can you resist the beauty? Drink or hold.

    The 2023 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese, made virtually without botrytis from fully ripe grapes, offers a shy tone of stone and yeast. The palate features Mirabelle jelly with lovely overtones of lemon balm and fern, wonderfully cut by freshness with a pithy, zesty edge of lime and mainly pale lemon.

    This youthful Mosel riesling Auslese has a vibrancy and precision that is often missing in these wines, blanketed by thick botrytis richness. I love the mint and chamomile freshness that pulls you into this juicy and concentrated wine and also make it very filigreed on the medium-bodied palate. Incredible precision and subtlety in the super-long finish. Try to be patient, because this is a marathon runner. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

There’s a healthy amount of unfermented grape sweetness, but the interplay of this with the myriad other components is so complex and fascinating. Super-graceful finish that feels like stroking satin. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

    Intense tropical fruit aromas such as fully ripe mangoes but also baby pineapples open the 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese that reveals a savory slate spice. On the palate, this is a rich yet savory and persistently saline, juicy and structured Auslese with a long and still mouth-filling finish. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 12 24 in January 2025. Drink 2030-2075.

    The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese, made with virtually no botrytis from ripe grapes, offers equal notes of grapefruit peel, juicy peach and lemon. The extreme finesse of the Prüm style meets the site's elegance, with stony lemon running like a central vein through the linear, elongated body. Such finesse, lightness and filigree nature, yet so much depth. Simply astonishing and a paradigm of site and style. Drink 2028-2060.

    The 2023 Bernkasteler Lay Auslese (Gold Capsule) is deep, fresh and savory on the crunchy, lemon-scented and honeyed nose that combines reductive with coolish wet stone and saline notes. Very refined and elegant on the palate, this is a playful, crystalline and weightless yet also rich and sweet but stimulating crystalline Auslese with lush yet finessed fruit and a long, well-balanced and very elegant finish. It's highly salivating and irresistible even at this young stage. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 14 24 in January 2025. Drink 2025-2080.

    The 2023 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese Goldkapsel, with about a third of botrytis-affected fruit, offers an intense aroma of dandelion blossom and ripe peach, complemented by a hint of smokiness. The concentrated palate features intense sweetness framed by a gorgeous spice of candied grapefruit. This intensity seems to delve deeper into the stone, enticing you to take another salty-sweet sip. Drink 2026-2060.

    Welcome to the peak of Mosel filigree in a category where most consumers only expect honeyed richness. Pure silk on the medium-bodied palate, where the great concentration slowly creeps up on you, building to a fantastic crescendo with a pink grapefruit freshness that’s unique in this category. You can drink it now, but then you will miss some of the greatness that’s still locked inside this treasure chest. Drink or hold.

    One of the great Mosel Auslese masterpieces of modern times, this has all the floral splendor of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard site on the medium-bodied palate, through which an extremely delicate thread of floral honey flows.

    The 2022er Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese LGK was made from shriveled rather than botrytized fruit and was fermented down to noble sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a gorgeously refined and sumptuous nose of almond paste, pineapple, honeyed yellow peach, tangerine, candied orange zest, fresh apricot, passion fruit, thyme, and smoke. The wine proves magnificently playful on the rich yet refined palate. There is great sweetness and intensity, but also airy and elegant elements which come into play. The energy and finesse in the magnificently long finish are remarkable. What a stunning dessert wine!

    The 2022 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese Lange Goldkapsel was designated thus because it was not found typical enough for a Beerenauslese, despite reaching sufficient must weight, it was made with 55-60% of botrytis. Mirabelle jelly and compote shine on the nose, slightly lifted, aromatic, ripe and sweet. The palate brings this to the fore, presenting a lovely, concentrated, vividly fruity, bright core of candied Mirabelle, accompanied by gilded, candied citrus, mouth-watering and tempered, yet so intense. Very long, beautifully restrained and pure. (Luscious). Drink: 2025-2050.

    The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese opens with a notion of baked peach, especially baked peach skin, aromatic, slightly caramelized with concentrated fruit.

    The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese #11 just shyly speaks of white peach compote on the nose, nothing more. The palate is clear-cut. It flashes a steely slate tone before mollifying it with riper fruit and aromatic citrus, so you are undoubtedly aware of its natural colors. This is stone and poise, depth and salty slate, adorning its essential, stony nature with white peach, ripe, expressive tangerine and a fillip of zesty spice on the finish. Light, restrained and elegant. (Medium). Drink: 2025-2050.

    The 2022 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is rather closed. Distant fruit appears as though behind glass where you can see but not touch. The palate is a juicy, rounded but tingling picture of tangerine. Aromatic, deliciously tart but wonderfully ripe, with that scented, balancing, zesty tang of tangerine peel. The 2022 shows poised balance, sweetness, extended, aromatic length and real elegance. (Medium). Drink: 2025-2050.

    Heady and head-spinningly diverse floral perfume, nut pastes and pit fruit preserves inform the nose and the luscious, glossy, creamy, delicate palate of this beauty. Nougat and quince jelly are the strongest midpalate impressions. Lime zest and fruit pit serve for welcome, enlivening counterpoint on a finish whose vibrancy and exuberance are amazing, especially from a wine of such sheer overall richness and ripeness as well as such creaminess of texture. Sweetness is prominent, but by no means excessive. The Prüms insisted that this wine issued from virtually botrytis-free albeit desiccated fruit.

    Maybe I'm amazed! In spite of the density and concentration, this retains the light-footed and filigree character that are typical for this great vineyard site. A cornucopia of dried stone and tropical fruit, but also spices, dried herbs, a whiff of licorice and much else besides. Only just beginning to show what it's made of! Drink or hold.

    Kanta Riesling by Egon Müller is a unique winemaking partnership where German tradition and precision meets the premium, cool climate fruit from the Adelaide Hills. Fruit is sourced from the Argyle Vineyard, a high altitude Adelaide Hills site that sits over 400m above sea level and is flecked with traces of iron stone. Rejuvenated in 1999, the original plantings date back to the 1840’s making them some of the oldest vines in South Australia.

    It is difficult to overstate just how central Weingut Keller has become to the modern understanding of dry Riesling. Since Klaus-Peter Keller took over from his father in 2001, the estate has set a global benchmark for precision and expression, joined in recent years by his son Felix, who now plays an increasingly active role in both the vineyards and cellar. Together with Julia Keller, they continue to refine a style that balances crystalline purity with textural depth, producing some of the most sought-after wines in Germany and beyond.

    Sourced largely from the Hubacker and Kirchspiel Grosse Lage vineyards, the Limestone Riesling is a study in tension and clarity. It combines concentrated fruit and spice with a gentle touch of sweetness, all carried by Keller's hallmark, finely etched acidity. The result is a wine that shows remarkable focus and drive while remaining accessible and immediate, a perfect introduction to the off-dry style of the estate.

    The Limestone Kabinett captures a lighter, more delicate side of Keller's winemaking.

The balance between sweetness and acidity is seamless, giving a wine of effortless charm, freshness and mineral clarity.

    This one is already bottled and released. Fruit from Kirchspiel and AbtsE.
    Back to pure fruit after the savoury intensity of G-Max and Morstein: ripe green fruits, creamy citrus, creamy like tangy lemon curd. With air, more smoky, but with the sweetness of a Kabinett wine, the fruit is highlighted. Fruity yet stony. Generous and fresh at the same time. An intense Kabinett with excellent balance even with very high acidity. Needs time to become less primary. Drink 2026-2035.

Together with Julia Keller, they continue to refine a style that balances crystalline purity with textural depth, producing some of the most sought-after wines in Germany and beyond.

    Much of this quality stems from remarkable raw material. The estate farms some of the Rheinhessen's greatest sites: Morstein, Abtserde, Kirchspiel and Hubacker, with most vines now well over 30 years old, and many far older. Yields rarely exceed 35 hl/ha, harvest is deliberately late, and meticulous hand selection allows for long skin contact before gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place in a mix of old oak and stainless steel, always with an eye toward transparency and finesse rather than weight.

    While more than 85 percent of Keller's holdings lie within Grosse Lage (Grand Cru) vineyards, only a small proportion is bottled under those designations. The estate's calling card, Riesling von der Fels, has taken on a greater role in recent years, both in scale and in significance. Initially conceived as a cuvée of young-vine fruit from top sites, it now incorporates a growing proportion of mature vines producing fruit of genuine GG quality. The result is a dry Riesling that captures the essence of the Keller style with remarkable clarity and precision.

    Other Reviews....
    The 2024 Riesling von der Fels, made with 50% grapes from Kirchspiel and the other 50% from Frauenberg, Hubacker, Abtserde and Morstein, was vinified in stainless steel and 600- to 2,400-liter oak vats. The wine displays bright, elegant, fresh and delicately spicy fruit with citrus and salty notes. Lean, elegant and juicy on the palate, with plenty of salt, a firm structure and lively citrus notes, this is an almost light, aromatic and very drinkable dry Riesling from shell limestone and limestone soils. It has a savory finish. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2025. Drink 2028-2045.

    The winery’s calling card, says Keller. Includes a higher percentage of Kirchspiel (45%) than normal, with one barrel from vines planted 1964, two barrels of Morstein and AbtsE and a bit of Hubacker. Also the younger Frauenberg vines. Average vine age 30 years. No longer really the young vines though that is how this cuvée started. 40,000 bottles produced. To be released May 2025. Cask sample.
    Lightly flinty aroma, pure salty-sour citrus. More mineral and less Riesling-defined than usual. High acid, great tension. Minerality of the vintage and Kirchspiel. A serious Von der Fels. Tight, bone dry, sinewy but with a mouth-watering grapefruit-like fruit foundation. Texture, too, with high dry extract in 2024 giving body to balance the freshness. Acidity is high but integrated. Drink 2027-2035.

    RR stands for Riesling from red-soiled parcels within Kirchspiel, where the iron-rich earth gives a spicier, more textural profile than the limestone sites used for Von der Fels. In some vintages the fermentation finishes completely dry, while in others a small touch of residual sugar remains, creating a beautifully balanced feinherb expression. The 2024 vintage offers bright fruit, fine grip and an energetic, savoury edge that highlights the distinct personality of these red soils.

    Tank sample. They don't analyse the wines until bottling but this probably has around 40 g/l residual sugar and TA 9.5 g/l.
    Fragrant with wildflowers and wildflower honey but no real sense of sweetness in the aroma. A touch of fresh pear, slightly richer in than the Limestone. Dry and textured on the palate even with the sweetness (I usually find sweeter wines have a more rounded texture), a chalky, dry contrast with the actual sweetness in the wine. Opens to a little bit of white pepper. Dancing and expressive, that chalkiness brings it to perfect harmony. Extremely fresh acidity gives it an arrow-like heart in a scented exterior. Drink 2024-2035.

    It would be no exaggeration to say Weingut Keller consistently produce the finest dry Rieslings in the world, a fact proven year after year since Klaus-Peter Keller took over the reins from his father in 2001. Along with his wife Julia, Klaus-Peter has continued to prioritise the quality of dry wine produced at the estate, and these are now some of the most sought after and collected wines on the planet.

    Sourced predominantly from the Hubacker and Kirchspiel 'GG' sites, the limestone presents incredibly concentrated fruit and spice along with a gentle touch of sweetness, Sabre-like acidity brought together in seamless balance.

Riesling in Australia.

Riesling is thought to have been introduced to New South Wales in the 1830s by the Macarthur's (pioneers of the Australian wool industry). German settlers brought the variety to the Barossa Valley in South Australia in the 1850's where the grape flourished. It's since found many new homes, such as Mt. Barker in Western Australia, the Clare Valley in South Australia, as well as Central and Southern Victoria. A tightrope of fruit and racy acidity when young, age-worthy examples develop honey and toast characteristics, sometimes accompanied by a distinct 'kerosene' note. Generally suited to cooler climates, examples from Grosset, Petaluma, Wilson Polish Hill, Dukes, Western Australia and Best's Great Western, Victoria are all worth seeking out.
