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.

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