Germany's most famous dry-Riesling house, making a white Burgundy — Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, old vines, bone dry, sealed under the gold capsule Keller reserves for its serious bottlings. Klaus Peter Keller runs what we'd call Rheinhessen's greatest address; seventy percent of the estate's vineyards are classified Grosses Gewachs, and his reputation was built on limestone-grown dry Rieslings that people compare, without embarrassment, to Burgundy's Grand Crus. That same instinct is exactly what's at work here, just pointed at different grapes. Alte Reben — old vines — means low yields and concentration. This is the bottle for anyone who's been chasing Keller's Rieslings and doesn't yet know he makes this.

"As usual, this bottling reflects its vineyard’s sélection massale as well as Keller’s utilization of stems in delivering a more floral, carnal, structurally refined and energetic performance than the corresponding Bürgel. Smoked meat, bittersweet floral perfume and fresh dark berry aromas billow from the glass. Brightly tangy dark berries mingle with deeply savory salted meat stock on a polished though firm palate, taking on a hint of ginger that enhances the sense of invigoration conveyed to a mouthwateringly sustained finish. (There were six barriques, or around 150 cases, of this.)" —David Schildknecht

"From French mass selections planted in 1996 and picked with 35 hectoliters per hectare, the 2013 Frauenberg Spätburgunder trocken GG has a clear and subtle yet aromatic bouquet of red and dark berries (raspberries, wild black berries, cassis), along with some flinty/smoky flavors. Intense, concentrated and firm on the palate, this is a full-bodied, powerful and firmly structured Pinot. It has a velvet texture, ripe and grippy tannins ,and a persistently sweet and concentrated flavor of ripe cherries and red fruit jelly in the finish. The wine has more power and body than the Bürge,l but also needs more time to develop. It's from a cooler and windier plot, and always the last Pinot harvested at Keller. The 2013 was aged in used barrels, whereas only the 2012 was still in new barrels until the malolactic fermentation was finished." —Stephan Reinhardt

More about Keller

Klaus Peter Keller runs Rheinhessen's greatest address, and his dry Rieslings are so crystalline and deep that Jancis Robinson calls them the Montrachets of Germany. Seventy percent of his vineyard is classified Grosses Gewächs, and every bottling proves the point: this is German wine at its most majestic.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with lemon and thyme, Dover sole meunière, veal schnitzel, crab cakes, celery-root gratin, or a plate of aged Comté and walnuts.

Tasting Profile

Dry and medium-bodied, with orchard fruit — pear, yellow apple, a little quince. Firm, clean acidity keeps it taut rather than rich, and the finish is long, dry and stony.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
