Its combination of spontaneous fermentation, traditional cellar work, and rigorously dry balance reflects the Keller family’s longstanding focus on translating Rheinhessen’s limestone soils with clarity and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOwners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Julia Keller and Klaus-Peter Keller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellar Masters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Klaus-Peter Keller and Felix Keller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Riesling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trocken, dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selected fruit from Keller’s top limestone vineyard holdings, primarily younger vines in Dalsheimer Hubacker and surrounding sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Predominantly limestone with clay and loess components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand harvested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole bunches basket pressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaceration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-fermentation skin contact of up to approximately 40 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spontaneous fermentation with ambient yeasts, principally in traditional large oak casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lees aging in large traditional casks and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiltration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light filtration before bottling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite peach and apricot lead the aromatics, joined by citrus peel, fresh herbs, and a restrained floral note. The palate is dry and energetic, with bright acidity cutting through ripe orchard and citrus fruit before a pronounced limestone character takes hold. Chalk, stone, and a faintly savory edge add dimension through the mid-palate, while the lees élevage contributes texture without obscuring the wine’s linear shape. Fresh, mineral, and finely structured, it finishes with persistent citrus, herbs, and cool stony definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker's Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeingut Keller traces its family winegrowing history in Rheinhessen to 1789 and is based in Flörsheim-Dalsheim, where the family has built an extensive collection of limestone-rich vineyard holdings. Julia and Klaus-Peter Keller own the estate, with Klaus-Peter and their son Felix leading cellar work. Von der Fels has been part of the Keller range since the 2000 vintage, initially created from younger vines in the Dalsheimer Hubacker. As the family expanded its holdings, the cuvée evolved to incorporate selected fruit from other top sites, with its precise vineyard composition changing according to the vintage. The concept remains consistent: fruit of serious pedigree is given a disciplined dry élevage that emphasizes limestone, acidity, and vineyard character while remaining more immediately approachable than Keller’s most tightly selected Grosses Gewächs bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe at 10 to 12°C in a medium-sized Riesling or white wine glass. A brief period of air can help a young bottle reveal more of its citrus, herbal, and limestone detail. Pair with fresh seafood, oysters, grilled or roasted fish, roast chicken, schnitzel, fried foods, risotto, or moderately salty cheeses. Its combination of dry extract, bright acidity, and mineral structure also makes it compelling on its own and gives the wine the framework for further development in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anvil Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"2025 \/ 750mL","offer_id":42412933054519,"sku":null,"price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/Weingut_Keller_Von_der_Fels_Riesling_Trocken_Rheinhessen_Germany_2025.png?v=1787772203","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/weingut-keller-von-der-fels-riesling-trocken-rheinhessen-germany","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
