Klaus Peter Keller Riesling von der Fels 2023

Klaus Peter Keller Riesling "von der Fels" 2023
Don’t let the label mislead you - this is no entry-level cuvée. Drawn from younger vines in Grand Cru parcels like Abtserde, Morstein and Kirchspiel, von der Fels in 2023 is a study in lift, salinity and quiet power. Cool vintage tension wraps ripe citrus, crushed herbs and chalky grip into a dry Riesling of striking purity and mineral depth.

The Domaine
Klaus Peter Keller has redefined the limits of dry German Riesling from his base in Flörsheim-Dalsheim. Famed for Grosses Gewächs bottlings and unicorn wines like G-Max, he applies the same obsessive precision across every label. Farmed organically, harvested by hand and vinified with minimal intervention, Keller’s wines marry power and purity like few others in the world.
