Klaus Peter Keller Von Der Fels 2024

Produced by Weingut Keller in the Rheinhessen village of Flörsheim-Dalsheim, Von der Fels is crafted by Klaus Peter Keller, a producer widely regarded as one of the greatest Riesling winemakers in the world. Under his stewardship, the family estate has risen from a respected local winery to one of Germany’s most sought-after and influential producers, achieving near cult status among collectors through its extraordinary dry Rieslings from iconic vineyards such as G-Max, Abtserde, Hubacker and Kirchspiel. Keller’s philosophy centres on meticulous organic farming, exceptionally low yields and minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing the limestone-rich soils of the Wonnegau to express themselves with remarkable precision. Von der Fels serves as an introduction to this celebrated style, drawing fruit primarily from younger vines and parcels surrounding the estate’s prestigious Grosses Gewächs vineyards, offering a glimpse of Keller’s world-class terroirs in a more approachable form.

Made from 100% Riesling, Von der Fels 2024 is fermented with indigenous yeasts before ageing on its fine lees, preserving the purity, energy and mineral character that define Keller’s wines. The 2024 vintage delivers vibrant aromas of lime zest, green apple, white peach and citrus blossom, intertwined with notes of wet stone, crushed chalk and delicate herbs. The palate is beautifully focused and crystalline, combining razor-sharp acidity with impressive concentration and a distinctive saline minerality that lingers through a long, elegant finish. While immediately captivating for its freshness and precision, Von der Fels also possesses the balance and structure to develop gracefully over the coming decade. Often described as a "mini Grosses Gewächs," it offers one of the finest introductions to the unmistakable style of Germany’s most revered Riesling producer.
