Westhofen Morstein Riesling 2022

Nose: stone fruits. Good intensity.

Palate: hit of acid. Dense. Stone fruit. A bit boring.

Westhofen Aulerde Riesling 2017

GG. Mid-yellow, nice and rich with an apricot and yellow plum palate. Finished fairly long even if it lacks the power and minerality of the Kirchspiel. — 5 years ago

Halenberg GG Riesling 2015

"Power without weight" was the first thing that came to mind when I was blinded this wine. I knew it was a German Riesling from the bottle's shape, and I instantly gravitated towards two producers - Keller and Emrich Schonleber. You know... it's a gut feeling and few producers pull out wines quite like they do! Didn't quite get that it was a GG due to the wine's length initially, but I was certain it came from a Grosses Lage site due to the complexity (perhaps from younger vines - think Lenz or Westhofen).

Day 2 and this was an absolute showstopper! The elegance is confounding for a 2015, but it still flexes just enough power. The length has improved radically - long, airy, and incredibly saline. There's a rich creamy element on the palate, balanced by zesty goodness and razor sharp acidity. The nose is gorgeous - floral, ripe, and herbal. I seriously love this wine today, but really... It's one for the ages.

Kirchspiel Riesling 2012

What a wine. Westhofen continuing to challenge my Mosel loyalty. Richly spiced nose - allspice inflected apricots and rocks, with some of that lanolin character, which I sometimes find in riper Riesling. Full and weight in the mouth, with apricot/rainier cherry fruit, broad but focused. The finish is all Riesling - full of zip and drive. Long. Jochen Dreissigacker clearly paid close attention during his time with Keller. — 9 years ago

Westhofen Alte Reben Riesling 2012

Nice surprise. Not a producer I knew much about, but a beautiful Rheinhessen Riesling. Some age has also benefited this wine. Loads of petrol on the nose. Quince and mineral on the palate. Very nice mouthfeel. This wine has some texture. — 5 years ago

Westhofen Trocken Sylvaner 2016

Lightly sparkly. Very refreshing. Drink very cold. Great taste of citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and green apple. A perfect Riesling like wine. Perfect fruity balance which makes the wine very easy to drink (danger). Great for summer. Found in a rarewine store in le marais Paris. Very hard to find. If you can get your hands on this, don't hesitate — 8 years ago

Abts E de Riesling GG 2006

This wine set a record at #auction when 3 of these double #magnums were offered so it was an enormous pleasure and great honor to have been able to experience this massively impressive 10-year old #GG while sitting next to it creators!
#2006 was a notoriously challenging vintage where rampant #botrytis and heavy selection were the order of the day; nevertheless in the hands of the Kellers yet another epic wine was born--THANK YOU!!! #Keller #AbtsE #Westhofen #Riesling #Rheinhessen

-RR- Rheinhessen Riesling 2016

Essentially, a declassified Grand Cru, made with grapes from the Kirchspiel GG Grosses Gewächs in Westhofen (at 11 g/liter, the wine’s residual sugar levels in 2016 exceeded the VDP 9g/l maximum, so the wine couldn’t carry the GG label). The nose is complex and explosively fruity, with aromas of citrus, passion fruit and minerals and hints of petrol. While this is certainly ripe and rich, there is still plenty of acidity to buffer the modest residual sugar in question. Elegant, lively — 4 years ago

Westhofen Brunnenhäuschen Trocken Riesling 2008

A whiff of sulphur on the nose but nothing that decanting could not fix.
Citrus and pineapple hit your nose with a sledgehammer. In the mouth I was surprised by the amount of fat, something I have not experienced with other Keller GG's. The decanter played the role of a fitness trainer as it slowly started reducing some of the fat. I hope that time will slim this down.
