Keller, Riesling Trocken, Rheinhessen

Still surprisingly fresh and refined for a white with this much age. I very much enjoyed it.

2015 vintage

Beautifully clean, with ample dose of petrol, unripe pear, house lime peel. Really really elegant at the level. Perfectly dry, which is my preferred style of Riesling. Even the lowest level Keller bottlings overperform.

2015 vintage

This has really come around. Nice tropical fruit and finish. Do not drink too cold and let the flavors come through.

2015 vintage

Delicately balanced reisling. Drinking very well.

2015 vintage

Keep it simple. Farven er klar med en lille grønlig/strågul tone. Duften er ren og frisk af citrus/lime, umoden pære, syrelige æbler, lidt saltet, lidt kalk. Ren og præcis i duften, med et touch af lidt modne æbler Smagen er som duften...Klar ren Riesling smag uden den store wow effekt. Frisk lime/citrus, syrlige grønne æbler, saltet sten toner, frisk og saftig. Syren er ren og præcis..til den lettere side. Alt i alt..Enkel, god Riesling fra Keller og en god intro …

2015 vintage

Popped and poured. Beeswax aroma with citrus notes. Stone fruit and mineral flavors up front, apricot pit finish. Strong backbone, good structure, maybe some tertiary features. Solid wine, drinking well, excellent QPR.

2009 vintage

Decent riesling but somewhat short on the palate and slightly uneven acidity. Perhaps closed as of now.

2015 vintage

Lovely acid. Balanced. Simple but good. 90p

2015 vintage

My first try of this entry level Keller Riesling trocken, the grapes are purchased from other wine-growers, this bottle is lacking the typical KPK Riesling balance, a little unharmonic still, zesty, lightbodied on the midpalate, slightly bitter, with an quite energetic acidity in the aftertaste, a bit disturbing cause an entry level Riesling should be tasty right after pouring, especially in an overwhelming Riesling-year like 2015, wait some time, but cannot assure you that this wine will really blossom, *(*-?), …

2015 vintage

Keller's entry-level Riesling made from purchased grapes. 12% alcohol. Quite intense neon yellow-green color. Quite fresh and ripe but also rather straightforward nose with aromas of ripe citrus fruits, some peach marmalade and a hint of herbal greenness. The wine feels ripe, medium-bodied and lively on the palate with pronounced steely minerality and chalky bitterness, juicy lemony notes, some wet stones, a little bit of apple blossom and a hint of pink grapefruit. Overall the wine feels pretty taut and …

2015 vintage

Enjoyed on Thanksgiving. Popped and poured. The wine was a bit gassy so it needed a shake but other than that it was fantastic. Lively with acid, citrus fruit and mineral. Definitely buoyed by the strength of the 2015 vintage.

2015 vintage

Nose of melon and citrus. Palate has tingly acidity with tart citrus and pear fruit. Although definitely dry, the fruitiness gives an impression of a little sweetness. Excellent paired with smoked salmon.

2015 vintage

Light gold colour. Nose is elderflower, Chinese pear, clover, Swiss cheese and crushed rocks. Palate is lovely acidity, Chinese pear, white peach, rhubarb, a slightly spicy, distinct minerality and a slight rubber element. Very fresh and enjoyable but lacks the sophistication of the Von Der Reis. But I am curious if this might actually improve with some age.

2015 vintage

very nice typical Riesling

2015 vintage

Greenish gold in color, this wine reveals citrus, Meyer lemon zest and bosc pear on the nose. The mouth feel brought very vibrant acidity, distinct minerality and more citrus including lime zest. The finish was dry but assertive with the acidity leaving me longing for more. 12.0% abv. Purchased for $20US, this is an awesome offering that is firing on all cylinders already. So vibrant. Imported by Petit Pois Corp. t/a Sussex Wine Merchants, Moorestown, NJ.

2015 vintage

Tart lime and grapefruit. Lots of acid. Refreshing and enjoyable.

2015 vintage

Very refreshing reminiscent of green apple, lemon, and salt. Dry dry dry with a slightly shortened finish. Nothing complex, but still ever so drinkinable. Only wish it were 40 degrees warmer and I were on porch.

2015 vintage

lime, stone, pink grapefruit -- lots of acid. finish a bit clipped, but this is a great value and shows the class of the '15s.

Keller Riesling 2015 vs Keller R von der Fels 2015: - R etwas gelber als der von der Fels - R ist ein solider Ortswein. Etwas sauer und mit dem typischen R Abgang (Pampelmuse?) - Von der Fels ist deutlich fruchtiger und damit interessanter. - Von der Fels ist klarer Sieger heute abend

2015 vintage

Light yellow colour. In the nose, this smells of artificial yeasts with banana and candy notes, some citrus fruit as well as well as slight menthol notes. On the palate, this is quite sweet now for a dry Riesling, it's got menthol notes again, some banana-like creaminess, not much acidity and not much punch anymore. Starting to tire.

2009 vintage

Just perfect for an entry level Riesling Trocken. Very balanced and delicious.

2009 vintage

Wines of Strength and Elegance - Kelvin and Marlene's Combined Birthday Dinner (Absinthe, Bukit Pasoh) : Pretty nice. This got better as it sat in a decanter, showing an expressive nose of earthy mushroomy notes, some chalk and plenty of fleshy pear and stone fruit accents laid over a base of minerally aromas. The palate showed typical Keller richness with stone fruit and ripe pear flavours on the attack undergirded with a strong mineral seam and a dusting of spice. …

2009 vintage

Light yellow in color with aromas of flowers, lemons and apple. Light Riesling with tastes of lemon and peach blossoms. Good with Chinese for lunch.

2009 vintage

Great wine for food. Had it with chicken and it ripped right into it, setting it up beautifully.

2009 vintage

I love this style of wine. The QPR is great. Strong acidity, good citrus fruit make it a high level balancing act. So different from the pradikat categorization. Both are good at different times. It only gets better from here as you go up the Keller ladder.

2009 vintage

Solid

2009 vintage

Tasty stuff. Great balance and structure on the finish.

2009 vintage

Not a full note, as this was a restaurant purchase. Trocken usually has me running for for real riesling, but this was not at all austere - at least not until the sommelière left it in the ice bucket too long and super-chilled it. But once it came back to a better temperature, it opened up again. Perhaps the riesling character was a bit muted, with more of a peachy ripeness than the mineral intensity and acid one might more …

2009 vintage

C: straw N: hint of botrytis, bit tight on the pnp, P: loads of acid, hint of botrytis, honey, citrus. Balanced.

2009 vintage

Very solid tonight. Nice lemony note, orchard fruits and great acidity. For anyone looking for a "drier" Riesling these days, look no further than the Keller trocken. It is a touch sweet, but not in a sugary way. It is delicious. Easy to drink, good acidity (so it will last a long time), crisp and fresh. Definite buy more. Recommended.

2009 vintage

Solid "value" Riesling at under $20. Pineapple, tropical fruit and minerals with a touch of creaminess on the nose. Good acidity. Very fresh and pure. Solid finish.

2009 vintage

Aromas of tropical fruit. Lime and wet rocks on the palate, quite dry. Spicy finish. Light bodied but good flavor concentration.

2009 vintage

Light yellow in color with aromas of citrus, lemon and mineral. Tasted of lemon peel and other citrus and a great minerality. Good!

2009 vintage

Consistent notes

2009 vintage

mooi zuiver en strak, heerlijk drinkbaar, fris en fruitg

2009 vintage

fresh, sparkling - smell of flint and grass. Overall impression: more Riesling than Silvianer-like.

2009 vintage

2009 Basic German Riesling Tasting : I liked the nose a lot, with subtle pineapple fruit and minerals, and I found the palate to stand out among the wines for its mineral and acid drive. Clean and pure with some hints of baking spices.

2009 vintage

moussiert, recht sauer, nicht solo trinken

2009 vintage

lovely sweet nose followed by crisp mineral palate....slightly fat on the finish...sweet and fat. strange. I little different than the last time I had this wine. Totally different on the 2nd night.... much more like the first time I had it. Crisp, lemon, minerals, slate....good fruit. everything I like about german riesling!

2009 vintage

very fresh - still a little bit sparkling - and surprisingly powerful for a Silvaner, very nice wine, drink soon

2009 vintage

Always a pleasure. Pure, bright and charming, but still a serious wine. Lovely, and an absolute steal.

2009 vintage

Wet stone, chalky minerals, acid, crisp.... almost no fruit. crisp, good, but would like more fruit. might this open up with time?

2009 vintage

Always delivers

2009 vintage

The nose showed lemon, slate dust and sweet butter. On the plate, it was dry yet showed a full, plush body with citrus, peach and herbal notes. The remarkably fresh finish showed grapefruit and lasted for over a minute. This is a must have bottle of Riesling.

2009 vintage

Very good and structured, mineral driven on day one, Excellent on day two more lively and fruit forward, still very vibrant and drinkable on day three. Amazing P/Q. best Riesling within this price range. My first Keller, looking very much forward to trying his bigger wines.

2009 vintage

Yes sir, this is nice. Clear and golden, to the nose it is chalk, minerals and lemon. The taste is even bigger, first sweet exotic with apricot, kiwis and butter spread on toast then a nice lemon still with a little sweetness from a melon and finally a good sound twist of pepper and minerals. Excellent

2009 vintage

Stones, flint, grass all mix together with the flowers to make this one nice

2009 vintage

I needed a wine to accompany a cauliflower dominated dish and what could suit better than a Silvaner? The wine flows into the glass in a very cristalline clear light yellow colour. In the nose, there are wet stones, a bit of flintstone, grass and green peppers. It's not very fruity. While the bouquet is quite unbalanced at first, it becomes more elegant with the bottle open for an hour. On the palate, the wine is very mineralic... and not …
