Essentially, a declassified Grand Cru, made with grapes from the Kirchspiel GG Grosses Gewächs in Westhofen (at 11 g/liter, the wine’s residual sugar levels in 2016 exceeded the VDP 9g/l maximum, so the wine couldn’t carry the GG label). The nose is complex and explosively fruity, with aromas of citrus, passion fruit and minerals and hints of petrol. While this is certainly ripe and rich, there is still plenty of acidity to buffer the modest residual sugar in question. Elegant, lively — a year ago

Nice surprise. Not a producer I knew much about, but a beautiful Rheinhessen Riesling. Some age has also benefited this wine. Loads of petrol on the nose. Quince and mineral on the palate. Very nice mouthfeel. This wine has some texture. — 2 years ago

Yahoo. No weight at all. Some petrol that blows off and gives way to classic Morstein mineral core and electric fruits. — 5 years ago

GG. Mid-yellow, nice and rich with an apricot and yellow plum palate. Finished fairly long even if it lacks the power and minerality of the Kirchspiel. — 3 years ago

"Power without weight" was the first thing that came to mind when I was blinded this wine. I knew it was a German Riesling from the bottle's shape, and I instantly gravitated towards two producers - Keller and Emrich Schonleber. You know... it's a gut feeling and few producers pull out wines quite like they do! Didn't quite get that it was a GG due to the wine's length initially, but I was certain it came from a Grosses Lage site due to the complexity (perhaps from younger vines - think Lenz or Westhofen).

Day 2 and this was an absolute showstopper! The elegance is confounding for a 2015, but it still flexes just enough power. The length has improved radically - long, airy, and incredibly saline. There's a rich creamy element on the palate, balanced by zesty goodness and razor sharp acidity. The nose is gorgeous - floral, ripe, and herbal. I seriously love this wine today, but really... It's one for the ages. — 5 years ago
