Keller Westhofen Brunnenhäuschen Abts Erde Riesling Spätlese 2011 is a German Riesling from the Rheinhessen region, specifically sourced from the revered Abts Erde site of the Brunnenhäuschen vineyard. This wine showcases the distinct terroir of an ex-riverbed, characterised by limestone-rich clay and iron oxides, contributing to its structure. The profile includes concentrated fruit expressions of pear and apricot, complemented by nuances of honeycomb. Ripe acidity provides a counterpoint to the wine`s inherent sweetness. Weingut Keller, known for low-intervention techniques and a focus on site-specific expressions, has crafted a Spätlese with notable ageing capacity.

Jancis Robinson
Absterde is the name of the lieu-dit and you are not technically allowed to put the parcel name on the label, hence Brunnenhäuchen and the abbreviation Abts E. Restrained intensity of fine citrus. Amazing purity and precision, the fruit supporting the shape of the wine rather than defining it. Taut and long and full of energy. (JH)
