Riesling Kabinett ‘Limestone’ 2022 – Klaus Keller

Overview

The Riesling Kabinett ‘Limestone’ 2022 by Klaus Keller is a semi-sweet white wine that captures the essence of the calcareous terroir of Rheinhessen. It combines crisp freshness with balanced sweetness, offering remarkable drinkability and finesse. Elegant and versatile, it is perfect both for refined pairings and convivial moments, always highlighting the authentic identity of the Riesling grape.

Wine History

Produced by one of the iconic wineries of Rheinhessen, the Kabinett Limestone originates from the Hubacker vineyards, a prestigious cru cared for by the Keller family since 1789. This wine reflects centuries of tradition and dedication, becoming a benchmark in the Kabinett category and celebrating the family’s deep connection to their land.

Vineyard Philosophy

In the vineyard, Klaus Keller follows an artisanal, sustainable approach. The Riesling grapes thrive on calcareous soils, which provide unique mineral traits and aromatic complexity. Careful manual work, low yields, and constant monitoring ensure healthy, concentrated grapes that embody the essence of the terroir and the Kabinett style.

Winery Approach

In the cellar, vinification is carried out with spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel using indigenous yeasts. A few months of aging in stainless steel tanks preserve freshness and purity, keeping the fruit and mineral identity intact. The result is a wine with delicate sweetness balanced by lively acidity and minerality, creating a vibrant and persistent character.

Tasting Notes

Color: bright straw-yellow, luminous and clear.
Aroma: stony hints with flint and wet stone, followed by saffron, candied lemon, peach, and melon.
Palate: sharp freshness, intensely mineral, dense yet graceful, with a subtle and pleasant sweetness.

Food Pairings

Riesling Kabinett Limestone 2022 pairs beautifully with raw fish, carpaccio, tartare, and Asian cuisine, especially fine tuna sashimi. Its sweetness and freshness also make it excellent with spicy or lightly exotic dishes, creating a harmonious contrast.

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.

Abtserde – Known for its finesse and aging potential.
Hubacker – A powerful and structured Riesling.

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.
