Riesling Kabinett ‘Limestone’ 2021 – Klaus Keller
Overview
The Riesling Kabinett ‘Limestone’ 2021 by Klaus Keller is a refined and harmonious white wine that reflects the essence of the calcareous terroir of Rheinhessen. With its low alcohol content of 7.5%, this Riesling stands out for its lightness, freshness, and a pleasant natural sweetness balanced by mineral tension. It is an elegant wine, perfect both for refined pairings and convivial occasions.
Wine History
The Kabinett Limestone 2021 comes from the renowned Hubacker vineyards, a prestigious cru cultivated by the Keller family since 1789. The 2021 vintage, marked by cool and balanced weather, produced Riesling grapes with vibrant acidity and ideal aromatic concentration. This wine continues a long tradition of excellence, passed down through generations.
Vineyard Philosophy
Klaus Keller manages his vineyards with an artisanal and sustainable approach. The Riesling vines thrive on calcareous soils, which give the wine its distinct mineral character and aromatic complexity. Manual work, low yields, and close care for the vines ensure grapes that fully express the terroir’s uniqueness.
Winery Approach
In the cellar, vinification follows a precise but traditional method. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts preserves the authenticity of the aromas. A few months of aging in stainless steel tanks maintain freshness and the balance between sweetness and acidity. The result is a vibrant Riesling with lightness, persistence, and elegance.
Tasting Notes
Color: bright straw yellow, clear and luminous.
Aroma: fresh citrus notes of lime and lemon, with hints of yellow peach and wet stone minerality.
Palate: sharp freshness, minerality, and subtle sweetness, with a delicate yet persistent finish.
Food Pairings
Riesling Kabinett Limestone 2021 pairs perfectly with raw fish and seafood, carpaccio, and fish tartare. Thanks to its balance of sweetness and freshness and its low alcohol level, it also complements Asian cuisine, especially sushi and sashimi, as well as lightly spicy dishes.

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.

Winemaking Philosophy

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