2015 Keller Westhofener Brunnenhauschen Abts Erde Riesling Grosses Gewachs Rheinhessen JR19
The nose of the AbtsE(rde) offers a fascinating composition of almost perfumed fruit and earthy minerality. If my gustatory facilities did not deceive me, the AbtsE is a little softer and sweeter than its stable mates, even dabbling in exotic territory with a fresh notion of passion fruit. Ripe gooseberry and stony apricot complete the fruit flavour. At the same time the wine never loses grip and finishes on an intriguing combination of flint stone, kernel and the merest notion of crushed coffee beans.
