Keller Hubacker Winery GG 2010

The Keller Hubacker GG 2010 is among Germany's most outstanding Grand Cru wines. The unique character of this wine lies in the single vineyard site of Hubacker, whose calcareous soils and southwest exposure impart a crystal-clear minerality and fine vibrancy. The 2010 vintage yielded power and substance without sacrificing precision, allowing this GG to express itself with remarkable poise in its maturity. Keller Winery traditionally employs precise selection and a restrained, elegant aging process, which underscores the winery's distinctive style. Critics from Falstaff, Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator regularly praise Keller for its precision, purity, and tremendous aging potential.

Tasting note: On the nose, a complex blend of ripe citrus fruit, green apple, peach, and a hint of petrol notes unfolds, underpinned by the characteristic limestone minerality. On the palate, the wine is dry yet elegant, with vibrant acidity, a compact structure, and a lingering, saline finish. The texture already appears polished, but the wine still shows reserves of complexity that will develop further with time.

Drinking window: A rough guideline is approximately 2020 to 2030; after that, the wine can continue to develop, while its youthful freshness will diminish. Food pairing recommendation: Pairs excellently with grilled turbot or scallops in butter, asparagus dishes and delicate, creamy cheeses, but also with Asian dishes that reflect the mineral notes and freshness of the Hubacker.
