Keller Westhofener Abts Erde Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Rheinhessen, Germany 2024
Westhofener Abts Erde Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2024 is a benchmark dry Riesling from one of Rheinhessen’s most revered vineyard sites. Sourced from the limestone-rich Abts Erde parcel in Westhofen, it delivers intense precision and depth, with layered notes of lime zest, green apple, white peach, and smoky mineral tones. Tightly coiled and highly structured, it shows electric acidity and a long, chalk-driven finish, making it a powerful, age-worthy GG that captures the purity and class of Keller’s greatest site expressions.
"The radiant lemon-colored 2024 Abts E. Westhofen Riesling GG is deep, precise and pure yet also intense on the elegant and aromatic nose that reveals some wild and yeasty nuances as well as fresh, vegetal and saline notes. Very elegant on the palate, this is a savory, pure, dense and round, finely tannic and crunchy Riesling with fine tannins and a crunchy limestone character. The finish is very saline and lemony and indicates excellent aging capacity. This is another very promising Riesling from the Keller family. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork." Wine Advocate 98
