Tasting Note
Crystalline Riesling with lime, green apple, gooseberry, elderflower and slate minerality, saline bite, bright citrus pith and floral honeyed notes. Filigreed, vibrant acidity and an unusually long, dancing finish.

Food Pairing
Western: shellfish, oysters, seared scallops, roast pork, goat cheese, light poultry. Asian: sushi/sashimi, spicy Thai or Sichuan dishes, dim sum, grilled miso salmon, Korean BBQ (pork belly).

Production Method
Kabinett from old, ungrafted vines in Schubertslay; hand-harvested, gentle whole‑cluster pressing and cool fermentation (stainless/neutral oak) preserving residual sugar and high acidity.

Vineyard Info
Weingut Keller (Klaus‑Peter Keller) is a Rheinhessen powerhouse that sources grapes from Piesport’s Schubertslay; bottled as an Alte Reben Kabinett from very old, steep slate vineyards.
