Keller Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2006

Jancis Robinson: Keller’s oldest vineyard, which has been in the family since 1789. Yellow limestone soil. Harvested 20 October at 3.5 tonnes per ha (c 25 hl/ha). Quite a few small bubbles clinging to the glass. Fuller and more aromatic – with a vanilla sweetness that is nothing to do with oak, just a creamy overlay to the rich fruit purity of ripe sweet lemons and fresh apricots. Richer, fuller and more open on the palate than the Kirchspiel. Similarly eleganct but wth greater density. Very long and very zesty finish. (JH) 18,5/20
