Keller Westhofen Kirchspiel Riesling GG

Rheinhessen QbA, Germany

Grand Cru-equivalent Grosses Gewächs Riesling from the prized Kirchspiel vineyard in Westhofen — limestone and loess over red slate. Profound depth: citrus blossom, white peach, honey, slate minerality, and decades of ageing potential.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The wine's profound minerality and freshness match Dover sole's delicate richness; browned butter bridges the GG's complexity.
• starter: Slate minerality bridges to the truffle; the GG's precision mirrors the scallop's delicate sweetness.
• starter: GG depth and acidity stand up to the bisque's richness; the wine's stone fruit echoes the crustacean's sweetness.
• cheese: The runny, intensely flavoured cheese needs a wine of equivalent depth — GG Riesling's minerality creates an extraordinary bridge.
