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…

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

#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

Very very nice Riesling from a great producer. Energetic with a hint of effervescence. A very slight perception of sweetness. Excellent acid with a persistent finish. Another great price / quality bottling.

Rich (almost yeasty in mouthfeel) with a zippy acidity. High quality stuff.
