2016 Keller Westhofen Kalkstein Reserve Riesling Trocken Rheinhessen JR17
Still a cask sample, it is no surprise that Keller’s Westhofener does not give away too much on the nose, but on the palate substance, extract and body demonstrate that Klaus Peter’s Westhofener is as much about tactile impact as it is about taste. Compact and taut, it seems almost reluctant to reveal the full extent of its mineral and herbaceous elements at this early stage. I trust the promise of my mouth-feel.
