Tasting notes
Keller's extremely well selected and precisely flavored 2013 Dalsheim Hubacker Riesling Auslese *** opens with refreshingly flinty and limey as well as floral aromas on the nose. Still young, but expressing a lovely, precise and piquant character with its mineral vibrations, this noble sweet wine has a lingering salty and stimulating finish that is highly elegant and full of finesse and delicacy. The grippy finish is extremely promising. A terrific Auslese from the Hubacker, Keller's most important vineyard in terms of size.

Limestone. Much more apricot than citrus at first but then there is a quince aroma too. Tastes much, much sweeter than the Morstein Auslese, more viscous and generous and fills the palate more even though there is a tight intense core. Great purity, too. (JH)
