Keller’s 2006 Dalsheimer Hubacher Riesling Grosses Gewachs is scented with raw almond, honey, and peach kernel. It offers a correspondingly bitter-sweet and piquant as well as creamy-textured palate impression and finish, its enhanced body and honeyed richness as well as bitterness reflecting the presence of botrytis by the time it was harvested – as the last of this year’s dry wines. Klaus-Peter Keller says his grapes weren’t soft yet when the August rain hit, and he harvested late by local standards – from 6th-26th of October – by which time the nights were cool, which in his opinion preserved the aromas, warded-off botrytis, and allowed him to achieve normal crop levels, expressive ripeness and dry wines in the 11.9-13% alcohol range.
