He acquired the property located in pin-acre share "Upper Hubacker" the historical situation Hubacker, which still stands today almost exclusively Riesling with a long-term average yield of 45 hl / ha. In 2000, this parade plot a six-meter-high stone tower of the limestones of the situation in the region and built in order to emphasize their importance. In the family Bible says George Keller (1841-1820) of the special quality of Hubackerweine. Today, the traditional mode of Klaus Keller and his son Klaus-Peter is out.

The wines

Been going on for about 20 years, the wines of father and son, Klaus, Klaus Peter Keller are at the top in Germany. There were at first mainly the noble sweet, which caused quite a stir, have evolved under Klaus Peter Keller, the dry Rieslings of the most important wines of the company. About the First Growths and the prestige wine G-Max is the talk of the wine world. However, that is no reason for Klaus Peter Keller to rest on our laurels. Anyone who thought this would be the peak of what is possible already achieved, since the Riesling wines of the vintage should probably rethink 2011. The wines were never here so tight so complex, so uncompromising prepared as this year. This makes them much less engaging in their youth, as it was the Rieslings here in previous years always. You need a lot of time and attention in order to show what is in them, her style now appears more likely to be guided by the great wines of Burgundy as the traditional German Riesling ideal. Everything suggests that you just once more makes a significant step forward here - and again assumes the role model that in its history in Rheinhessen held the estate several times. In the shadow of the other wines Riesling should not be overlooked, however. Scheurebe, especially Sylvaner and Pinot varieties can also be quite excellent. Our collection of the year in Rheinhessen.
