Keller Winery Kirchspiel GG 2017

The 2017 Weingut Keller Kirchspiel GG is a tribute to the precise terroir work of the Keller winery in Rheinhessen. Kirchspiel, one of the estate's most prestigious parcels, stands for mineral depth, clear structure, and finely balanced fruit. The 2017 vintage displays a concentrated yet elegant presence, ripe fruit aromas, and a crisp acidity that provides a vibrant counterpoint to the wine's dryness. This combination of authenticity, ripeness, and the winemaker's skillful hand makes the Kirchspiel GG one of the most distinctive interpretations of dry Riesling from Germany.

Tasting note: On the nose, ripe citrus fruit, green apple, and peach unfold, supported by flint and a pronounced minerality. On the palate, the wine presents a firm yet supple structure, dry with very well-integrated acidity; the finish is long, cool, and elegant. The blending of vintages lends the wine a sophisticated complexity that continues to develop with aeration. The expected drinking window is approximately 2022–2034, although the wine already displays its harmony and will continue to evolve. Food pairing: Grilled turbot, scallops in a light butter sauce, sushi, or asparagus dishes with citrus notes harmonize superbly with the minerality and freshness of this GG.
