  • In a really good place right now, just starting to bridge into the development of some tertiary characteristics. Very fresh and prickly, still showing some residual carbon dioxide when first opened. It quickly rounded out and took on depth and richness with aeration. White peaches laced with lime zest, orange oil and honeysuckle hit the front palate, while a touch of oiliness and salinity follow. This is bone dry but completely physiologically ripe Riesling, loaded with palate staining fruit that shoots sparks across the tongue. With yet more air, rainier cherry fruit and intensely concentrated, almost sour minerality develop. Tremendous length. Lovely wine.

    (Keller Von Der Fels Riesling) Another great wine from the Keller estate. Really minerally on the nose. Just explodes from the glass. Very salty too. Almost a hint of watercress. Very original aromas. Palate is dry and uncompromising with great fruit and a compelling stony minerality. Very tight though. I have a feeling though this will be killer tomorrow. The fruit on the finish just sneaks up onto your palate and just clings and then soaks in. Great acids. This is awesome
