The Keller family is world famous for their Rieslings (they are best known for their G-Max Riesling bottling, which can fetch up to $2k.). Adding to the Keller's cadre are their Spätburgunders (AKA Pinot Noirs) hailing from the Rheinhessen region, which are always good finds, if you can locate them. This is a wine for both the German wine lover and Burgundy collector.
WINE ADVOCATE 92 POINTS - "Keller's 2018 Spatburgunder S is a blend of the fruit from vines less than 30 years old that are cultivated in the top sites of Bürgel, Morstein and Frauenberg. The purple-colored wine opens with a pretty deep, elegant and spicy bouquet with cherry aromas. Silky, round and intense on the palate, with red berry and cherry flavors, firm yet fine tannins and a refreshing character, this is a lean and pure yet also intense and sustainable Pinot with a refreshing tangy finish due to the 25% whole clusters used during the cuvaison. Bottled without fining or filtration in July 2019. Stephan Reinhardt."
