The Weingut Keller is certainly one of the real famous wine addresses in Germany. Its clear, concentrated, very elegant, dry Rieslings Große Gewächse, described by the wine critic Jancis Robinson, as German Montrachets, are known far beyond the borders of Germany. These wines come from renowned vineyards such as Abtserde, Aulerde, Hubacker, Kirchspiel, Morstein or Pettenthal and Hipping from the Roten Hang.
