Keller G‑Max 2010: The Cult Dry Riesling from Rheinhessen

Overview

The Keller G‑Max 2010 is a benchmark dry Riesling from Rheinhessen and one of the most celebrated wines from Weingut Keller. Produced only in exceptional vintages and in extremely limited quantities, the 2010 G‑Max exemplifies the perfect balance of elegance, freshness, and aromatic complexity. This legendary Riesling is prized by collectors and connoisseurs for its distinctive minerality and outstanding aging potential.

Wine History

The G‑Max represents Keller’s most exclusive selection, reserved for the finest vintages. The 2010 harvest benefited from ideal climatic conditions, with warm days and cool nights allowing optimal grape ripening. This wine is considered a benchmark for high-quality dry Rieslings, combining freshness, elegant structure, and aromatic depth, establishing itself as an icon among German cult wines.

Vineyard Philosophy

Keller’s philosophy focuses on the pure expression of terroir and grape quality. The vines for the 2010 G‑Max come from low-yield plots, where slow ripening concentrates flavors and acidity, ensuring complexity and longevity. Harvesting is manual and grape selection meticulous, guaranteeing that only the best fruit contributes to this iconic wine.

Winemaking Approach and Grapes

The G‑Max 2010 is produced from 100% Riesling, vinified dry (“trocken”) to preserve freshness, structure, and natural aromas. Contains sulfites. Aging is designed to enhance minerality, vibrant acidity, and aromatic depth, creating a wine capable of evolving gracefully in the bottle over many years.

Tasting Notes

Color: intense straw yellow with golden reflections, bright and luminous.
Aroma: complex scents of ripe stone fruits, fresh citrus, aromatic herbs, and delicate mineral notes.
Palate: structured and harmonious, with lively acidity, juicy fruit, pronounced minerality, and a long, elegant finish; hints of spice and citrus complete the experience.

Food Pairing

Perfect with elaborate fish dishes, shellfish, refined seafood, spiced Asian cuisine, and aged or blue cheeses, or can be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative wine due to its complexity and depth.

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:

G-Max – The rarest and most legendary Riesling from the estate, of unparalleled quality.
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.
