Keller Von Der Fels Riesling Trocken 2023

Keller Von der Fels Riesling 2023
The dry counterpart to Limestone Kabinett, which was made in much smaller quantities this year. Today the vines are more than 30 years old – this is no longer the home of the younger vines, which is once was.

“What a joyful and effusive dry riesling this is. Brimming with yellow and citrus fruit plus spring flowers, wonderful succulence and very elegant acidity for a non-GG wine. There’s an excellent structure behind this that drives the wine off into the distance. A cuvee of wines from GG sites: 45% Kirchspiel and 25% Absterde, plus some wine from Hubacker and Morstein. Drink or hold.” 95pts! – Stuart Piggott - James Suckling.com

The 2023 Riesling Von der Fels is the second selection from the grands crus Kirchspiel, Hubacker, Morstein, Abtserde and quite a lot from Frauenberg, all calcareous sites. The nose is clear, pure, iodine and chalky. On the palate, this is a super precise, round and chalky, very finessed and elegant Riesling of great style with respect to knife-sharp precision, chalkiness and finesse. This is a superb Riesling at this price. 32,000 bottles were filled in late April this year. Tasted at the domaine in May. 92 Points - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
