Tasting notes
The 2022 Abts E Riesling GG is currently probably the most impressive Riesling in the Keller family. As always, the Abtserde is extremely pure, dense and chalky, with fine spiciness reminiscent of great Chablis, but then it shows almost explosive fruit of ripe, concentrated pineapple with citrus freshness. Full-bodied and dense, but also pure, enormously chalky and salty, this is a fine, mineral and long-lasting Riesling from a single vineyard in the Westhofener Brunnenhäuschen. It's a great Riesling with very fine tannins and stimulating salinity and full of tension.

The effortlessness with which this dry riesling masterpiece marries the finest stone fruit aromas with gigantic concentration must be experienced to be believed. It is hard to put the purity and precision into words that adequately convey the experience. And none of this wants to stop. Instead the wine keeps extending out towards infinity. Drink or hold.
