Keller Riesling Limestone 2022

In order to make the famous Keller GGs (that sell for $550 upwards per bottle) some grapes are harvested from the best-sited mature vines, very close to the start of vintage, to allow the remaining small number of bunches on each vine to ripen un-hindered. These slightly earlier-picked bunches (from the likes of Morstein, Abtserde etc.) are higher in acidity and perfect for a very lively, juicy, nectarine-inflected slightly sweet and "mineral-laden" ageable and great white. The style of the Limestone is saline and bursting with stony, edgy, juicy fruit (with the residual sugar in the background) is now a legendary white of the Keller stable. The 2022 is just a little plusher and juicier than the firmer 2021. Importer Notes.
