Weingut Keller Westhofen Kirchspiel Riesling Trocken GG 2024

$25999

Klaus-Peter Keller may be the most talented dry-Riesling maker in Germany, the man who single-handedly turned the Rheinhessen from backwater into Europe's most coveted real estate. Kirchspiel is one of his two largest holdings in Westhofen, with hard limestone running some fifty meters deep beneath the vines. As a Grosses Gewachs (dry grand cru), this is racy, powerful, and built to age, the limestone lending lacy minerality and a unique salinity. Mineral-driven and intense, with piercing acidity and a finish that ripples with tension. One of Rheinhessen's greatest addresses.

"The lemon-yellow colored 2024 Kirchspiel Westhofen Riesling GG is very elegant and floral on the nose, combining delicate citrus and white peach aromas with hints of lime. Fresh, elegant, taut, citrusy and stringent on the palate, this is a lean but straightforward and pure Riesling with juicy, elegant fruit and plenty of crunchy salt in the finish. It's gorgeous. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2025." —Stephan Reinhardt

More about Weingut Keller

Weingut Keller might just be the greatest German winemaker ever, at least for dry wines. He single handedly flipped the fortune of his country's most maligned region, Rheinhessen, from backwater to most sought after real estate.

Like Egon Muller of the Saar (Germany's greatest sweet winemaker), his top bottles are near-impossible to find and can be prohibitively expensive. But unlike Egon, John Peter Keller continues to bottle a line up of affordable and (for now) get-able bottles for the rest of us.

Keller's wines are often compared to those of Burgundy, with Jancis Robinson, going so far as to call them "the German Montrachet." Grape varieties aside, the comparison is apt whether describing the gently sloping, east facing hills, or Keller's monk-like obsession with understanding every nuance of his vineyards. But it's the limestone in those vineyards that really fuses the connection and sets the wines apart from the rest of Germany.

Their limestone-y-ness affects the aromatics, and these are a little more floral and a little less peach-fruity than you find in the slate-ridden Mosel. But mostly, the limestone is something that lurks beneath, like a node of power that holds the wine together in a ball of tension, ready to unravel in the cellar or in the glass.
