Westhofen Brunnenhäuschen “Abst E” Riesling Kabinett 2021

Overview

The Westhofen Brunnenhäuschen “Abst E” Riesling Kabinett 2021 is an elegant white wine with remarkable finesse, sourced from one of Rheinhessen’s most prestigious parcels. This Kabinett combines freshness, minerality, and delicate natural sweetness, characteristic of Riesling grapes grown on limestone soils. The 2021 vintage gives the wine balance and precision, making it ideal for refined tastings and lovers of aromatic yet subtle wines.

Wine History

The Brunnenhäuschen vineyard in Westhofen is famous for its limestone-rich soils and optimal sun exposure. The cuvée “Abst E” comes from the careful selection of the finest grapes, reflecting the classic German Kabinett style. Keller’s winery has always focused on highlighting terroir with precision, producing Rieslings capable of evolving gracefully over time.

Vineyard Philosophy

The vineyards are managed artisanally with low yields and hand-picked grapes. Limestone soils impart mineral tension and elegant structure, while natural grape ripening ensures complex aromas and persistent freshness. Sustainable viticulture allows the vines to fully express their potential without invasive interventions.

Winemaking Approach

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel using indigenous yeasts, with minimal or no added sulfites. Aging preserves the wine’s aromatic purity and brilliance, maintaining the true character of Riesling. Minimal cellar intervention guarantees a perfect expression of varietal character and terroir.

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.
