Keller Winery G-Max 2016

The Keller G-Max 2016 is an icon among top German wines, representing a precise, terroir-driven interpretation of Riesling. The G-Max is a selective, expressive wine that combines the cool freshness of the 2016 vintage with concentrated minerality. The wine's exceptional character lies in the incredible purity and balance that the Keller winery has cultivated over decades: a fine structure, clear fruit, and exceptional aging potential that make it a benchmark in Riesling.

Tasting note: The nose presents a multifaceted intensity of green apple, lime, mirabelle plum, and a hint of floral notes, underpinned by an aromatic stony minerality. On the palate, the wine is dry, compact, and impressive, with vibrant acidity and a dense, silky texture. The fruit remains focused, while mineral notes and a saline presence accompany the long and elegant finish.

The optimal drinking window is expected to be between 2020 and 2035; the wine can be enjoyed even at a younger age, but will continue to develop depth and complexity. Food pairing: An excellent accompaniment to seared scallops, grilled fish, veal fillet with herbs, or a creamy cheese such as Comté – dishes that perfectly complement the fine acidity and mineral character of this G-Max.
