Parker about Kirchspiel Riesling Großes Gewächs 2009
The Keller 2009 Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Grosses Gewachs features pungent, piquant lime zest, peach kernel, and cherry pit allied to tart citrus and yellow plum, salt and chalk, all of which make for an almost fiercely penetrating and invigoratingly persistent if spare and lightly astringent performance. This certainly isn't about flattery or ingratiation. German growers and critics love applying the word “puristic” to such a Riesling, which I suppose is better than “puritanical” – but my, this wine is strict! As it took on air, a slightly more enticing, saliva-inducing sense of salinity and shellfish reduction emerged. I don't envision it ever achieving the delicacy and poise that its 2008 rendition displayed even at this young age, but it should certainly be fascinating as well as palate-stimulating to follow in the course of the coming decade. While Keller has now begun to implement the plan I discussed in issue 187 of releasing some Grosse Gewachse only in the year after bottling, that delayed release will not apply to either the Hubacker or Kirchspiel, although based on my perception of the latter's personality, it above all should be considered as a candidate.

Kirchspiel Riesling Großes Gewächs 2009
The Kirchspiel Riesling Großes Gewächs 2009 from Keller is a remarkable wine that impressively captures the qualities of its vintage and the unique characteristics of the Kirchspiel vineyard in Rheinhessen.
Visually, this Riesling presents itself in a brilliant golden hue in the glass, indicating its maturity and complexity. On the nose, it seduces with a tantalizing array of aromas: ripe stone fruits like juicy peaches and sun-ripened apricots blend with refreshing citrus notes and a fine mineral presence that reflects the terroir of the Kirchspiel vineyard.
On the palate, this wine is extremely balanced and appealing. A lively acidity lends it structure and freshness, while the fruity nuances are in perfect harmony with the mineral depth. Every sip of this wine tells the story of a wine that was lovingly cultivated in the vineyard and vinified with a masterful hand in the cellar.
Keller's Kirchspiel Riesling Großes Gewächs 2009 not only represents excellent wine quality, but also promises a fascinating journey of discovery through the complexity and potential of Riesling. Its ability to gain in complexity and depth with age makes it a wine that offers the highest level of enjoyment and sensory pleasure both now and in the future.
