Keller Feuervogel Reserve 2019

Parker: Keller's 2019 Sylvaner Feuervogel Réserve is one of the finest Sylvaners I have tasted in my life—and there are at least hundreds of Sylvaners! Sourced from 60-year-old vines rooting deep in the refreshing limestone terroir of the Kirchspiel, the wine opens with a deep, highly aromatic, clear, precise and flinty bouquet that builds a complex aromatic composition of stones and orchards. Enormously complex and mineral on the palate, this is a compact wine knit to dramatic tension and sustainable salinity. Great grip and energy here. This is Rheinhessen's (or Germany's?) one and only Sylvaner Grand Cru. It was auctioned in September last year. 96/100
