"Klaus-Peter Kellerâs parcel in the Kirchspiel is also old vines, having been planted in 1964, and the 2011 Grosses Gewächs is a truly stunning young wine. The nose is more expressive at the present time than the more reserved Pettenthal, offering up a complex and very pure blend of tart orange, pink grapefruit, a bit of smoked meat, orange zest, complex, chalky minerality, wild yeasts and lemongrass. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and vibrant, with great purity in the rock solid core, great cut and grip and a very long, laser-like and focused finish. Where this vintage of Kirchspiel will ultimately rank with some of the other great wines produced from this vineyard in the last several years is uncertain, but it seems likely to rank right up there at the summit."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
