Weingut Keller Tasting

MAGMA German Restaurant
Tasted Sunday, June 7, 2009 by ikileo with 354 views

Introduction

All the wines served were popped & poured and served cold (I mean COLD)
I would have preferred that they were allow to breathe a little before serving and they should have let the temperature rise a little
I tried my best to warm each glass to near room temperature from my palms to get as much from the wine as possible.

  • 2007 Weingut Keller Riesling Trocken

    Germany, Rheinhessen

    Popped & Poured

    Colour: Light straw yellow

    Nose: Citrus, slight honey, good underlying minerality, clean, a little sweaty sock

    Taste: Good acidity, love the minerals, great heat control, lighter styled but not diluted, stonefruit. Very textbook, clean, good length. Will probably develop greater complexity when allowed to breathe.

  • 2007 Weingut Keller Riesling von der Fels

    Germany, Rheinhessen

    Popped & Poured

    Colour: Light straw yellow with an ever so slight greenish tinge

    Nose: Lime & sweaty sock but tight nose, will probably be better if allowed the breathe; but so far it was a little 'meh' for me

    Taste: Decent acid, great heat control, mineral driven with some grapefruit. Could have used slighly more acid as the fruit felt a little 'soft' to me

  • 2006 Weingut Keller Riesling Limestone

    Germany, Rheinhessen

    Popped & Poured

    Colour: A very light straw yellow

    Nose: A little sweaty sock, tropical fruit but a little closed, slowly develops and almost 'savoury' component

    Taste: Creamy honey, good weight, reminds me of canned lychees in syrup

  • 2006 Weingut Keller Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Auslese ***

    Germany, Rheinhessen

    Popped & Poured

    Colour: A straw yellow colour

    Nose: First thing that hit me was 'forest floor'; like walking through the woods in the morning, the freshness, leaves, moss, dew etc. Beautiful. Definitely tropical fruit and some very strange slight (for lack of a better word) 'fishiness' (but in an appealing way)

    Taste: Definitely sweet of course, but a good load of minerals among the tropical fruit. Lengthy finish, good acid, components of dried fruit (apricots). Really good and interesting wine.

Closing

Overall I liked the basic Riesling Trocken and the Auslese over the other 2. The Auslese nose is really rad.
