Aged in stainless steel to preserve purity, it provides a rich, lingering finish with exceptional aging potential. Perfect for pairing with fruit tarts, creamy desserts, or blue cheeses, this Riesling reflects Keller’s commitment to crafting terroir-driven wines. The 2002 vintage, known for its intensity, produced a wine of remarkable depth, offering a sophisticated Rheinhessen white for enthusiasts seeking richness and complexity. Its concentrated flavor profile and vibrant finesse make it a collector’s gem.
