From yellow-colored limestone soils in Keller's monopole since 1789, the 2019 Hubacker Riesling GG opens pure, flinty and spicy on the very intense yet refined nose with lemon, herbal and yeasty tones. This is pure, vital or almost racy on the palate, which is an excellent counterpoint to the suppleness and richness of this Hubacker that displays mandarin and white peach aromas. The wine is silky, fresh and juicy but also enormously mineral and tensioned, with impressive grip and length. I have never had a Hubacker at such a high level.
(Keller Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Trocken GG) AP: 25 21. The 2020er Hubacker Riesling, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is a bone-dry wine made only from the upper and steeper part of the vineyard. It proves initially rather restrained and needs a few minutes in the glass to reveals a quite aromatic and attractive nose of grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, white mint, and yellow flowers, all wrapped into a sea of spices. The aromatic side of the wine is also noticeable on the palate, which has great presence and even a light juicy and broad side. The finish proves hugely long and also superbly fresh thanks to an exquisite lemon-driven acidity cutting through the more aromatic side. This hugely impressive GG needs a couple of years to show all its finesse. 2027-2040
