Klaus Peter Keller - Hipping Riesling GG - Großes Gewächs 2011 - 0,75l

Klaus Peter Keller’s Hipping Riesling GG 2011 is a distinguished dry Riesling from one of Rheinhessen’s celebrated vineyards. Classified as a Großes Gewächs, Germany’s designation for top-quality dry wines from premier sites, it combines ripe fruit, lively acidity and pronounced mineral character. The wine offers a compelling expression of the steep Hipping vineyard and is now entering a mature, highly rewarding phase.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a bright golden hue with delicate green reflections. Its expressive bouquet brings together ripe peach, citrus fruit and finely mineral nuances, creating a character that is both generous and precise. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, with concentrated fruit balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is long and elegant, marked by a subtle mineral character. At this stage, the 2011 vintage can be enjoyed for its developing maturity, while its structure and acidity should allow it to evolve further in a well-stored cellar.

Production
The grapes come from the steep slopes of the Hipping vineyard in Rheinhessen, where the site’s distinctive terroir contributes depth and mineral definition. The Riesling grapes are hand-harvested before being carefully vinified to preserve their purity, structure and expression of origin. As a Großes Gewächs, the wine reflects the quality standards associated with Germany’s finest dry vineyard-designated Rieslings.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C to allow the wine’s aromas and texture to develop in the glass. It is an excellent match for grilled or steamed fish, shellfish, seafood dishes and delicately prepared poultry, while its freshness also complements richer sauces. Decanting is not essential, but a short decant or time in a larger glass can help reveal the wine’s mature aromas and mineral complexity.
