Weingut Keller Pettenthal Riesling GG 2020 (RP: 95)

Weingut Keller被視為是德國其中一間最優秀的酒莊，生產的dry Riesling身價極其珍貴。Decanter與Wine Advocate先後為不同年份給予100分。Klays-Peter與太太Julia都是才華洋溢的釀酒師，2001年從父親手上接棒，自此酒莊的半乾型(off-dry)和甜酒更為人欣賞。酒莊坐擁16公頃的葡萄園，大約90%為特級園(Grand Cru)，包括Schubertslay、Pettenthal、Abtserde 和 Morstein 等。它們位處山坡上，不同地塊有火山土壤、石英、紅粘土和石灰石。 加上低產的老葡萄藤，這些都是大自然的恩賜，令莊園的出品屢獲高分。不論是記者、侍酒師、買手和一般葡萄酒愛好者，都給予一致好評。

品酒筆記：
(Robert Parker's rating: 95 points)
清晰而濃郁的香氣，反映出葡萄收成時多汁成熟。口感強大有力，味道複雜多汁、單寧緊致，餘韻持續帶有鹹度。富有陳年潛力。於2011年11月拍賣。(品飲於2021年8月)

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 95 points)
The 2020 Pettenthal GG (Auction) is clear and intense on the still finely reductive nose that indicates delicately ripe and juicy fruit. Intense and powerful on the palate, this is a complex and juicy as well as taut and grippy Kabinett with a sustainable and salty finish. Very promising. The wine was auctioned in November 2021. (Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021)
