2023 Weingut Keller 'Von der Fels Riesling' Trocken, Rheinhessen, Germany

$54.00

"von der Fels" translates to "from the rock." It is drawn from a selection of vines — among them some younger plantings — in Keller's Grosses Lagen vineyards. The aim is to produce a very dry trocken.

Soil: Limestone-based with various mixtures of clay, loess, silts, stones and shells.

Elevation: 180-220 meters

Exposure: South-southeast

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 yeast in fuder.

Maturation: One year on the lees followed by a light filtration before bottling.

Wine arrives the second week of August 2024.
