2021 Weingut Keller Riesling Alte Reben Reserve

This was an absolutely beautiful young wine, which comes from limestone rich soils and is a blend of 75% Chardonnay and 25% Weissburgunder.
Incredibly classy with chalky minerality on a crystalline frame that showcased notes of lemons and pears.
There was a touch of that waxy fruit character you get from Weissburgunder and then comes the tangy youthful Chardonnay to give it tons of energy. Seriously, this is pure class, with a textural mouthfeel but refined elegance. I absolutely loved the interplay between fresh pears and apples while getting hints of the candied versions of each fruit as well.
I enjoyed this bottle with some grilled kumquat and ginger glazed salmon and the pairing was delicious! What a pairing and a great night.
The collaboration between father and son is not only so exciting to watch, but also brings much joy.

2020 Lukas Hammelmann Zeiskamer Klostergarten Riesling

This young bottle of Riesling took a little coaxing to open up, but once it had some air it really was something special. I had no doubt that this would be a wine to spend an evening with and it was enjoyed over about 4 hours. What Lukas is doing is nothing short of incredible. His wines are like nothing else and he is doing it in a place that you would never expect. Magic is happening in this little corner of the Pfalz.
Initially quite tight with haunting aromas of smoke and a palate that was like drinking liquid rock.
With air, this insanely pure wine really showed its class. The palate burst with juicy lip smacking apples with notes of lemon oil and shone like sunshine that was chiseled from pure stone.
Layers of nuance, wonderfully transparent, and so so delicious. Another wow wine to enjoy on the journey with the immensely talented Lukas Hammelmann.
