Keller G‑Max 2007: The Cult Riesling from Rheinhessen

Overview

The Keller G‑Max 2007 is one of the most exclusive and prestigious wines in the world, showcasing the winemaking mastery of Weingut Keller in the Rheinhessen region of Germany. This dry Riesling comes from a secret vineyard plot carefully selected each year by Klaus‑Peter Keller and produced in extremely limited quantities. It is considered a cult wine among discerning enthusiasts and a prized collector’s item due to its extraordinary complexity, elegance, and aging potential.

Wine History

The G‑Max represents the winery’s most exclusive selection, produced only in exceptional vintages. The 2007 vintage is widely regarded as one of the finest for German dry Rieslings of the period, with ideal climatic conditions allowing perfect grape ripening. International critics awarded very high scores, confirming its historical significance in producing top-tier dry Rieslings.

Vineyard Philosophy

Keller’s philosophy focuses on highlighting the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir. The vines used for G‑Max are very old and grown on limestone-rich soils, giving the wine a unique minerality. Harvesting is strictly manual, and grape selection is rigorous to ensure only the finest fruit. The exact vineyard location remains undisclosed, enhancing the wine’s rarity and allure.

Winemaking Approach and Grapes

The G‑Max 2007 is made exclusively from 100% Riesling, vinified dry (“Trocken”) to preserve the natural expression of the grapes and terroir. Aging is designed to develop balance, aromatic depth, and gustatory tension. Contains sulfites. Every stage of production is carefully monitored to maintain freshness, vibrant acidity, and structure, allowing the wine to evolve gracefully over decades.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: complex scents of ripe stone fruits, citrus, wild herbs, and spices, with elegant and penetrating minerality.
Palate: structured and harmonious, with vibrant acidity, saline notes, and a remarkable balance between power, finesse, and mineral tension. Long persistence with fruity and subtle spicy finishes.

Food Pairing

Pairs perfectly with complex fish dishes, shellfish, refined seafood, spiced Asian cuisine, and aged blue cheeses, or can be enjoyed alone as a contemplative wine due to its depth and layered character.

Klaus Keller and the Excellence of German Riesling

Klaus Keller is the renowned winemaker behind Weingut Keller, one of the most prestigious wineries in Rheinhessen, famous for producing some of the world’s finest Rieslings. The Keller name is synonymous with wines of extraordinary purity, depth, and elegance, capable of competing with the great Burgundy Grand Crus.

The History of Weingut Keller

The winery’s origins date back to the 18th century, when the Keller family settled in Flörsheim-Dalsheim, in the heart of Rheinhessen. However, it was under Klaus Keller and later his son Klaus-Peter Keller that the estate reached the pinnacle of excellence, becoming a global benchmark for dry Rieslings.

Klaus Keller spent decades meticulously selecting vineyards and enhancing the terroir, drawing inspiration from Burgundian traditions to craft wines of remarkable longevity, complexity, and vibrancy.

The Terroir and Iconic Vineyards

Weingut Keller owns parcels in the most prestigious areas of Rheinhessen, with soils rich in limestone, slate, and marl, ideal for producing expressive, mineral-driven Rieslings. Some of the most renowned vineyards include:

Abtserde – Known for its finesse and aging potential.
Hubacker – A powerful and structured Riesling.
Kirchspiel – Elegant, with a vibrant acidity.
Morstein – Famous for its intense minerality.

Winemaking Philosophy

Klaus Keller and his son Klaus-Peter have always prioritized terroir expression, using sustainable viticulture and a hands-off, artisanal approach in the cellar.

Their Rieslings, especially in trocken (dry) and Grosses Gewächs (GG) styles, are known for their crystalline fruit, lively acidity, and incredible depth.

Klaus Keller’s Legacy

Today, Klaus Keller is a respected and celebrated figure in the wine world. His legacy is carried on by his son Klaus-Peter Keller, who continues to craft extraordinary wines, highly sought after by collectors and wine lovers worldwide.

Weingut Keller is often referred to as the “DRC of Germany”, a comparison to the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, emphasizing the level of excellence achieved by the Keller family in the wine world.
