This is a delicious Riesling from the 2022 vintage. The RR destination indicates it’s from three different vineyards, all on red slate soil. At 12.5%abv it is just slightly off-dry - perceptible sweetness but less than most Kabinett wines. The fruit clearly got ripe with luscious apple, ripe pear, yellow plum, lemon, lime and flint along with a hint of petrol. Exceptional balance, good acidity and a very long finish. Very speaking note and will last many more years than I have patience to wait! — a month ago
This trip to Melbourne has been a 07’ riesling galore! Another incredible Keller, although it did not quite hit the highs of the Kirchspiel. Not an AB comparison, but the nose on this Abtserde was a little less explosive and in some sense tighter. It had more a floral, herbaceous drive instead of the fruit basket the Kirchspiel brought. On the palate it was as deep and rich, while still sporting that mineral, herbaceous, focused backend. A pinnacle level riesling, although in my experience, I felt it had more to offer with a little more time or air. Unfortunately that will need to wait till next time as like the Kirchspiel, it evaporated off the dinner table albeit shared among more (i.e. could have used a little more in my glass haha). — 2 months ago
Pretty amazing. Honey on the nose, low acid, some notes of muted tropical fruit on the palate, savory notes on the back end, pretty round full bodied finish. Such a lovely wine!! — 20 days ago
Nada on the nose. Little in the mouth except brutal acid. — 2 months ago
Nice Riesling. Lemon-lime, mineral, a little effervescent, some residual sugar- enough that I wouldn't drink this without food, but it was excellent with stir fry. — 3 months ago

No other dry Riesling comes close to Keller in my opinion. Magical stuff. — 10 months ago
