Keller Riesling Auslese Westhofener Abtserde Goldkap 2013

97 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The 2013 Auslese from the Abtserde is another absolute monument in the making and one can easily appreciate why Klaus-Peter and Julia Keller decided to make more sweet wines this year! The brilliantly pure and refined nose soars from the glass in a mélange of white peach, white cherry, chalky minerality, tangerine, bee pollen, orange blossoms and citrus zest. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish, pure and racy, with its personality utterly defined by its vibrant acids. The finish is very, very long, laser-like and brilliantly complex. A hauntingly elegant and electric bottle of Auslese! 2020-2075. (Mar/Apr 2014)”

95 points Joel B. Payne (Vinous): “Pale golden yellow. Enticing aromas of ripe peach, smoked almond and fennel, plus a note of oyster shell. Luxuriantly sumptuous nectarine flavor and bracing acidity tantalize the palate. Long, complex and spicy on the alluring finish, this is an exquisite Auslese from a site better known for its dry Rieslings. (Mar 2015)”
