Keller Winery Scheurebe Kabinett 2021

The 2021 Scheurebe Kabinett from Weingut Keller captures the aromatic freshness of the grape variety and unites it with the distinctive minerality of the Palatinate's limestone soils. Weingut Keller is considered a benchmark in the region, known for precise craftsmanship, restrained interventions, and a consistent approach to winemaking, drawing on deep roots and low yields. The 2021 vintage delivers a vibrant acidity that supports the pronounced fruit aromas without masking the sweetness. This combination makes the wine immediately approachable, yet its subtle complexity warrants a few years of bottle aging. The winery's distinctive characteristic lies in the consistently clear purity of the fruit, which undergoes a fascinating evolution over the years.

The aroma unfolds with ripe peach and lime notes, accompanied by gooseberry, acacia honey, and a mineral freshness reminiscent of damp chalk. On the palate, the wine is fresh and elegant: a delicate residual sugar note is balanced by lively acidity, medium body, clear structure, and a long, clean finish. The optimal drinking window is expected to be between 2023 and 2027, although the wine will continue to gain complexity beyond this period as long as it is stored in cool conditions. Food pairing: Ideal with spicy Asian dishes, fresh goat cheese in salads, roasted pumpkin with herbs, or light, creamy pasta creations – a refreshing companion throughout the evening.
