Riesling “RR” 2022 – Klaus Keller

Overview

The Riesling “RR” 2022 by Klaus Keller is a white wine that combines energy and finesse, offering a crystalline and authentic expression of Germany’s signature grape. The 2022 vintage produced a sunnier and more fruit-driven Riesling, where citrus and mineral notes merge into a vibrant and expansive sip. It is both technically precise and naturally expressive, making it a versatile wine suited for refined cuisine and convivial occasions alike.

Wine History

The “RR” cuvée was conceived as an identity project by the Keller family, with the goal of showcasing the pure varietal expression of Riesling in a straightforward style. The 2022 vintage, warm yet balanced, allowed the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while preserving freshness and acidity. This vintage enriches the Keller collection, standing alongside the estate’s world-renowned labels.

Vineyard Philosophy

The vines grow on calcareous soils, the foundation of the “RR” style. Here, Keller follows artisanal and sustainable vineyard practices, with low yields and careful vine management. Manual labor and canopy control ensure healthy grapes of high aromatic intensity. The terroir translates into the glass with its hallmark stony, saline minerality.

Winery Approach

In the cellar, vinification is guided by authenticity and precision. The alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, followed by several months of aging in steel. This process preserves freshness, balances aromatics, and highlights the juicy, mineral-driven character of the wine.

Tasting Notes

Color: bright yellow with crystalline reflections.
Aroma: ripe citrus, grapefruit, and lime, layered with yellow peach and wet stone accents.
Palate: juicy, fresh, and dynamic, with a touch of sweetness balanced by acidity and a persistent mineral finish.

Food Pairings

Riesling “RR” 2022 is the perfect partner for Asian and fusion cuisine, especially spicy or sweet-and-sour dishes. It pairs beautifully with sushi, sashimi, raw fish, and also with fresh cheeses and delicate white meats. Versatile and elegant, it adapts to both casual dining and gourmet occasions.

Klaus Keller and the Excellence of German Riesling

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

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.
