The Keller wine making history dates back to the 18th century, Their estate is located in the small town of Flörsheim-Dalsheim outside Frankfurt in the Rheinhessen region.Klaus Peter took over as head of Weingut Keller in 2001. He soon started shifting the focus from sweeter wines to dry wines. Today, the Grosses Gewächs wines from Weingut Keller is some of the most sought after dry Rieslings in the world.
The von der Fels wine is based on grapes primarily from young vines from the different Grosses Gewächs vineyards.
On the nose I get aplles, lemon and banana. The palate is full of fruit, green apples, honeydew and some banana. The finnish starts of with yellow apples. After a while it turns into a very strong mineral component, flinty. The length is good, but what really makes this wine is the citrus driven acidity. There is some residual sugar in this wine, but the acidity is so clear and keeps this wine in perfect balance.
The negative thing here is that i do get some notes of rotten fruit on the finnish. It's interesting, but not extremely attractive. I'm not sure, but this might not have been an optimal bottle. It isn't overly complex either, but it is a very good Rieling. 90 points
