Weingut Keller - Limestone Riesling kabinett 2025

🍇 Weingut Keller - precision and terroir in its purest form

The Keller winery, managed by Klaus-Peter Keller, is one of the world's leading producers of Riesling. The winery stands for uncompromising quality and the precise reproduction of the respective terroir. With minimalist winemaking that focuses on the natural environment and authenticity, Keller has earned a reputation as one of Germany's most important winegrowers.

Keller's white wines are among the most sought-after in Germany. In addition to the dry style-defining Grosses Gewächs wines from top vineyards such as AbtsE or Morstein, the White Label series also offers an excellent opportunity to experience Keller's art. Although these are less expensive, they are no less impressive.

🧾 The "Limestone" Kabinett - the fine counterpart to the "Von der Fels"

The Riesling Kabinett 'Limestone' is the finely tart counterpart to the dry Von der Fels cuvée. As its name promises, minerality is the defining element, characterised by the limestone soils of the Kirchspiel, Abtserde and Hubacker parcels.

With this Riesling, Weingut Keller pursues a Kabinett style that is atypical for the genre. Unlike many opulent, fruit-orientated representatives, the 'Limestone' offers a surprisingly mineral, powerful interpretation. Hardly any lush fruit, but plenty of power and tension.

🔮 Drinking maturity & ageing potential
