Klaus Peter Keller Riesling RR 2021

Klaus Peter Keller Riesling "RR" 2021
A cult insider’s pick, “RR” captures Keller’s crystalline style through the lens of ultra-cool terroir. Sourced from red-soiled, high-altitude parcels in the Rheinhessen’s Rotliegendes, the 2021 vintage brims with electric acidity, crushed slate, and citrus zest. Laser-sharp yet texturally refined, it’s a dry Riesling that treads the line between intensity and elegance with trademark Keller precision.
