2017 Keller, Westhofener Brunnenhauschen Abtserde Riesling Auslese, Rheinhessen

Sourced from the higher, older vines in Abtserde, grown in limestone soils enriched with clay and iron oxide, with approximately 25% of the grapes being botrytized. Due to labeling regulations, “Abtserde” can no longer appear on the label, so Klaus-Peter designates this wine as Abts E. This vintage saw low yields due to a major hailstorm on August 25th, but the surviving fruit was exceptional and benefited from a full, ripe growing season.
