Keller Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2011 Westhofen Rheinhessen 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

David Schildknecht: Pungent lime peel, quinine, and kirsch in thenose of Keller's 2011 Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling GrossesGewachs lead into a bright, tart, zesty palate featuring thepungency and piquancy promised in the nose, along with a strongsense of crushed stone suffusion. While this lacks the surprisingopenness and infectious juiciness exhibited by Wittmann'scorresponding rendition, or the combination of richness withbuoyancy that characterize Keller's legally halbtrocken RR bottlingfrom another part of this site, it is formidably and stimulatinglypersistent as well as capital "M" mineral, and ought to befascinating to follow for the better part of a decade. "This rocky,stony character appeals to me a lot," notes Keller.
