Keller Winery Hubacker GG 2013

The Keller Hubacker GG 2013 is an outstanding example of the pinnacle of German Riesling culture. Hubacker is one of the most prestigious Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru) vineyards in Rheinhessen, lending this wine impressive minerality and a firm yet elegant structure. The 2013 vintage was cool and dry, resulting in a wonderful balance of freshness and complexity. Keller achieves a clear expression of fruit, complemented by limestone minerality and delicate notes of pear, quince, and citrus, accompanied by floral and honey nuances. On the palate, the wine displays substance and precision, a vibrant acidity that adds depth, and a long, saline finish. Critics such as Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator recognize Keller as a benchmark of German Riesling artistry, and the Hubacker GG regularly ranks among the top wines in the Grosses Gewächs category.

In tasting, the Hubacker GG shines with its clear structure and mature complexity, which unfolds further with aeration. Its combination of intense fruit, subtle spice, and mineral freshness makes it particularly well-suited to focused dishes: seared scallops, turbot, a creamy risotto with citrus notes, or mature cheeses like Comté. The interplay of fruit, structure, and saline minerality accompanies timeless moments of enjoyment for years to come, which is why this wine also makes its mark on special occasions.
