Acquiring and trying a bottle of Keller GG Riesling has been on my list for a while, and a great opportunity allowed me to snag this 2018 and finally see what makes this producer so highly regarded.

Enjoyed at pop, and followed over two hours.

I’m sure this could have benefitted from a decant, but part of my desire was to see how it changed from the start. Incredibly aromatic out of the glass…bright citrus and nearly tropical fruits, floral and also a unique smokiness. Texturally, this was powerful with intensity and vibrant-slaty minerality. Fresh limes and limestone wrapped in a full-bodied (for a Riesling) profile with acidity and a finish that lingered extensively. Fresh. Electric. Pure.

I didn’t notice a substantial difference at last glass vs the first, but this is still in its infancy. I can’t even fathom how good these must be with 15-20yrs on them! — a day ago

Like all Keller, a powerhouse with a sneak attack. Try your best to ignore the gulpability and savor the ride. — 2 months ago

Amazing tropical nose but still a bit flat taste-wise. Getting there but needs more time — 3 months ago

This particular bottle tasted somewhat evolved and sweetish. Crumbly cork, as well. — a month ago

Medium golden lemon colour . Honeysuckle , baked apple , white flowers , elegant and refined . On the palate this is quite rich , but with balanced acidity and lots of ripe apple , pear , honey notes . Very long and detailed , precise. Young but drinking well, probably will improve though over the next 5-10 years and last a further 10. — 4 months ago

lovely intense Riesling fruit. A hint of oxidation. Slate, apple, sweet floral notes. Rounded with good weight in the mid palate. Defined and precise. Excellent. — 21 days ago

Rounding off a Keller themed weekend with the 2015 Bürgel. Hands down the best bottle I've drunk of this! Proper high end quality with depth and concentration for days...held together by succulent acidity. Such an impressive wine!!! — 3 months ago
