Klaus Peter Keller - Abts E Riesling GG - Großes Gewächs 2016 - 0,75l

Klaus Peter Keller’s Abts E Riesling GG 2016 is a finely structured Grosses Gewächs from one of Rheinhessen’s most highly regarded sites. Combining concentrated fruit, vibrant acidity and pronounced mineral character, it is a serious dry Riesling with considerable ageing potential and the precision for which Keller’s wines are renowned.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bright golden-yellow colour. Its complex bouquet opens with ripe apple, lemon and other citrus fruits, accompanied by subtle honeyed nuances and a distinctly stony, mineral edge. On the palate, it is powerful and full-bodied yet finely balanced by refreshing acidity. Concentrated orchard fruit and citrus flavours lead into a long, focused finish marked by cool minerality. The 2016 vintage is already rewarding to drink, while its structure and acidity should allow it to develop gracefully for many years in bottle.

Production
Produced from grapes grown in the Abts E site in Rheinhessen, this wine reflects the region’s ability to produce Rieslings with both richness and mineral precision. As a VDP Grosses Gewächs, it comes from a classified top vineyard and is made in a dry style, with careful selection of the best fruit and a winemaking approach focused on preserving purity, balance and site expression. Specific harvesting and maturation details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C. It is an excellent partner for grilled or poached fish, shellfish, roast poultry and creamy chicken dishes, while its acidity also works well with fresh goat’s cheese and other mild, lightly matured cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but 20–30 minutes in a carafe can help the wine open and reveal additional aromatic layers, particularly when served young.
