2023 Weingut Keller 'Vom Muscheligen Kalk' Rheinhessen, Germany
$35.00
From a single plot where Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Sylvaner and Chardonnay were planted together — "muscheligen kalk" translates to "shelly lime."
Soil: Compact limestone formed by fossilized mussel shells
Elevation: 180 to 200 meters
Exposure: Varying south-facing
Vinification: Grapes are harvested by hand and bunches are left to macerate on their skins for up to 40 hours before press. Whole bunches are then basket-pressed and the run-off juice ferments on the ambient yeasts in fuder.
Maturation: One year with a light filtration before bottling.
Wine arrives the second week of August 2024.
