Lime juice and cherries. Crushed stone. Always good.

I can’t add to the notes I made here 39 weeks ago and 66 weeks ago. Lime notes with white peach on the palate. The intensity and chalky minerality stand out. My last one of 3.

Very pale lemon in colour. Some spritzig fine bubbles cling to the inside of the glass. Citrus, particularly Lemon also a mineral note on nose and palate. After a while Quince. An off dry style (only 9.5% ABV). Spotlessly clean and very long particularly for the price point of only $54. Medium acid. This is Keller’s entry level with brilliant Cuvées stretching up to the legendary and rare G Max priced at $1295 a year ago for the 2017. Too expensive IMO but perhaps a good investment because of its rarity and inherent demand if you didn’t drink it?

Plenty of citrus and grapefruit flavour, with nicely balanced acid and a lick of residual sugar…

More open than the 2015. Rich, long, typical laser acidity. Cornflower and wet stones. Big hit of Abtserde in this, I believe. #rheinheissen #keller #riesling

A high-acid, low alcohol, slightly sweet miracle you only see in years like '15. Kirchspiel, 18g rs. Zippy, fresh, fine! #keller #riesling #rheinheissen

Loved all three seconds of it. I'll buy two next time. Most refreshing balance of sweet and acid like pear nectar

#Keller #Riesling #Kabinett "#Limestone"--if this was the only wine I tasted at Keller, I'd pronounce the vintage #2015 a great success! Gentle fruitiness and subtle sweetness... super mineral, floral, awesome acidity and overall balance... citrus notes... dances on the palette... incredibly attractive and it isn't even a marquee wine--OMG!!! #Rheinhessen

I thought it had bright fruit, mostly stone fruit with some citrus. Wish it had just a little more spice to it.
