"The 2019 Estate Riesling Trocken from Klaus-Peter Keller is 11.5 percent octane this year and is an absolutely beautiful wine again. As readers may recall from my notes on the 2018 vintage here, Klaus-Peter has decided to increase the age of vines that go into this “entry level” bottling of dry Riesling starting in the 2018 vintage and it shows in the quality of this bottling. The 2019 offers up a bright and precise bouquet of tart orange, apple, a complex base of chalky minerality, citrus peel and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is crisp, fullish and complex, with a superb core, lovely mineral drive and cut, ripe, snappy acids and a long, beautifully focused and balanced finish. This is an outstanding wine and will have no difficulties aging long and gracefully; I would be inclined to at least give it three or four years in the cellar and really let it open up from behind its excellent girdle of ripe acidity."
