Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, sweet
Rieslaner is a rare Silvaner × Riesling crossing that ripens late and keeps searing acidity, and Klaus Peter Keller in Rheinhessen is its great champion for sweet wine. His Rieslaner Auslese is lusciously sweet but electric: passion fruit, pineapple, apricot and mandarin with honey and a gingery spice, cut by acidity often higher than Riesling's. Thrilling young, it ages for decades toward candied, honeyed complexity.
