Keller Winery Morstein GG 2008

The 2008 Keller Morstein GG showcases the typicity of the Morstein vineyard, the heart of the Rheinhessen terroir. Keller, a winery renowned worldwide as a benchmark for terroir-driven Rieslings, produces a Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru) that impressively combines balance, depth, and finesse. The 2008 vintage, warm yet precise, contributed to a concentrated, long-lasting character that has been regularly praised by critics such as Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator. The wine has been carefully aged, exhibiting gentle oak notes and a characteristic minerality that reflects the vineyard's climate and the limestone soil of the Morstein.

On the nose, the 2008 Morstein GG unfolds an impressive combination of ripe peaches, yellow stone fruit, and grapefruit, underpinned by a pronounced chalky minerality. On the palate, it presents a compact, elegant structure with present yet refined acidity, hints of petrol, and a long, intense finish. This wine combines power with precision and demonstrates remarkable aging potential over the years. Food pairing recommendation: Grilled turbot, risotto with porcini mushrooms, or mature blue cheese perfectly complement the mineral freshness and complex fruit of this Morstein GG.
