Keller Kirchspiel Westhofener Riesling GG 2024

Keller Kirchspiel Westhofener Riesling GG 2024 is an extraordinary, world-class dry Riesling produced by Klaus Peter Keller from old vines in the historic, amphitheater-shaped Kirchspiel vineyard in Westhofen. Grown on steep, east-facing slopes of limestone and clay marl, this classic Grosses Gewächs displays an electric, bone-dry profile with an intensely aromatic nose of mirabelle plum, lemon zest, white peach, and fresh green herbs, complemented by a distinctive cool minerality. On the palate, it is taut, elegant, and medium-bodied, delivering vibrant citrus and stone fruit flavors supported by a razor-sharp, chalky limestone backbone, brilliant natural acidity, and a incredibly long, saline, and persistent finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs superbly with pan-seared sea bass, roasted turbot, oysters on the half shell, king crab legs, roasted duck, and spicy Thai green curry.
