Parker about Morstein Riesling Grand Cru 2006
The 2006 Westhofener Moorstein Riesling Grosses Gewachs fermented and aged in a 1,200 liter cask that Keller particularly likes, but for which his volume of Moorstein in many years is insufficient. It seems indeed as though the barrel accentuates in a positive way the saline, smoky natural tendencies of Riesling in this site, which along with notes of nutmeg accent the ripe pear fruit. Quite opulent and full on the palate, this then slims down to a refined, predominantly mineral (smoky, saline, stony) finish. Along with the aforementioned Grosses Gewachs bottlings, I would follow this over the coming 3-5 years.

The Morstein Riesling Großes Gewächs 2007 from Keller is an impressive wine that impressively expresses the qualities of its vintage and the special characteristics of the Morstein vineyard.
Visually, this Riesling presents itself in a brilliant golden hue in the glass, indicating its maturity and finesse. Its bouquet is a wealth of aromas: ripe stone fruits such as peaches and apricots intertwine with refreshing citrus notes and a subtle mineral presence, reflecting the unique character of the Morstein terroir.
On the palate, this wine is extremely balanced and appealing. A lively acidity lends it structure and freshness, while the fruity notes are perfectly balanced with the mineral depth. Every sip tells the story of a wine that was lovingly cultivated in the vineyard and vinified with a masterful hand in the cellar.
Keller's 2007 Morstein Riesling Großes Gewächs not only embodies excellent wine quality, but also promises a captivating journey through the complexity and potential of Riesling. Its ability to gain depth and complexity with age makes it a wine that offers supreme enjoyment and sensory pleasure both now and in the future.
