2018 Willi Schaefer Himmelreich Riesling Grosses Gewächs (337 kr)

Vad ska man säga om ett vin som är lika sällsynt som en enhörning? Bara att lyckas få en allokering av Willi Schaefers vanliga viner känns som en prestation i sig, men att även lyckas få upp några av dessa rara flaskor till Sverige, känns som något stort. Recensioner? Glöm det - det är sällan vinkritiker ens får prova vinet. Grattis till dig som lyckas komma över en av dessa sällsynta flaskor!

2018 Schloss Lieser Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese Goldkapsel 375 ml (696 kr)

The 2018 Beerenauslese from the Juffer-Sonnenuhr is another absolutely beautiful bottle in the making. The bouquet delivers an exotic blend of fresh lime, pineapple, tangerine, honey, citrus blossoms and again, a topnote of fresh mint. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, elegant in profile and simply dancing across the palate, with bottomless depth, great purity and precision, zesty acids and marvelous length and grip on the endless finish. Another great, great wine. Drink it 2022-2100. 96 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

Weingut Keller...

Det finns fortfarande ett fåtal flaskor kvar av Kellers magiska viner på Systembolaget!

Många vinentusiaster runtom i världen brukar kasta lystna blickar mot Sverige och undra hur just vårt lilla land kan ha alla dessa rariteter, som övriga världen mesta bara får läsa om. Orsaken är, som alltid, att familjen Keller är nära, personliga vänner och förser oss med hela spektret av deras eftertraktade viner, något som annars är mycket ovanligt bland familjens importörer runtom i världen.

Vissa av vinerna görs i så liten mängd att inte ens de mest berömda vinkritikerna får prova vinerna, så vi har ibland inte några officiella recensioner för att beskriva dem. Vi gör här ändå ett försök att ge lite bakgrundsinformation till de fåtal flaskor som fortfarande finns kvar att få tag i, för de som letar upp de sista flaskorna på Systembolagets hemsida. Blir du en av de lyckliga få som lyckas hitta de sista flaskorna?

Om du undrar VARFÖR flaskorna från Keller tar slut så fort och är så svåra att få tag i, är det inte för att vi undanhåller viner från Keller. Tvärtom, Origo Wine har pumpat in fler olika viner av Keller på Systembolaget än någonsin tidigare. Orsaken är den ständigt växande efterfrågan på Kellers viner och med takt att deras prestigeviner ständigt klättrar uppåt i pris, blir deras övriga viner desto mer eftertraktade, som just de du ser nedan. Det krävs inte tusentals kronor för att dricka riktiga världsklassviner från Weingut Keller. Och till sist...för att ge ett perspektiv på varför efterfrågan är som den är, har vi lagt med en artikel från Decanter. I samma nummer presenteras även vinerna från Domaine Romanee Conti, som alla givetvis får skyhöga poäng av recensenterna, uppåt 98/100 poäng för de bästa. Men... Ja, läs själv recensionerna av Weingut Keller så får du en bild av varför telefonerna ständigt ringer hemma hos familjen Keller från inköpare som vill ha...

2019 Keller Limestone Riesling Kabinett Goldkapsel (229 kr) Lanserades 2020-10-20

Ja, vad säger man om det HÄR vinet? Det finns inga recensioner... Orsaken är enkel - ingen vinkritiker får ens smaka på det? Varför? För att Klaus-Peter Keller gör en speciell buteljering (Goldkapsel) som endast säljs i Sverige och ingen annanstans i världen. Inte ens i Tyskland. Du får själv försöka lista ut hur vinet kan smaka, om den betydligt billigare och vanligare Limestone Riesling Kabinett får följande recension... ;-)

The Limestone Riesling Kabinett from Weingut Keller usually comes from some of the younger vines in the Kirchspiel, Abtserde and Morstein vineyards, but with the overall move to use older and older vines in each bottling, I am not sure how young these actually are in the Kabinett in 2019. The wine comes in at 9.5 percent octane and offers up a beautiful bouquet of white peach, apple, a very complex base of limestone minerality, bee pollen, wild yeasts and a topnote of fruit blossoms. On the palate the wine is pure, medium-bodied and filigreed, with lovely bounce and grip, superb mineral drive, lovely intensity of flavor and a long, poised and dancing finish. This has plenty of seamless acidity to carry it far into the future, but good luck trying to keep your hands off of bottles of this wine in its relative youth! Drink it 2020-2055. 92+ points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2018 Keller Scheurebe Kabinett (Morstein) (214 kr) Lanserades 2020-10-13

Ja, det är nästan samma sak med Kellers legendariska Scheurebe Kabinett. Det här vinet finns bara att köpa på EN annan plats i världen förutom Sverige, men är då betydligt dyrare. Vinkritikers vanliga dilemma är att de inte ens får smaka på vinet för att kunna skriva en recension, förutom om Keller råkar ha en flaska öppen just den dag de kommer på besök. Eftersom det inte finns några recensioner för årgång 2018 (för att Sverige har 99,99% av flaskorna), får du hålla tillgodo med recensionen för nästa årgång, som även den kommer lanseras på Systembolaget. Varför är vinet så kultförklarat? Jo, det få vet är att vinet kommer från vingården...Morstein. Precis intill två små plättar som används till Keller Morstein Riesling GG och Keller Morstein Cuvee Felix Spätburgunder GG, viner som kostar tusentals kronor. Så varför då använda flera rader av rankor till att producera ett vin som säljs för två hundralappar när de istället kan ympas om till Riesling eller Pinot noir? För att Klaus-Peter vill... :-) Gissa om vi är tacksamma för det!

True to Klaus-Peter Keller's observation about how good the 2019 vintage was for
Kabinett, there is a Scheurebe Kabinett in the cellars here this year. The wine comes in at nine
percent octane and offers up a beautiful bouquet of tangerine, gooseberry, a touch of black
currant, limestone minerality, white flowers and just a whisper of citrus zest in the upper register.
On the palate the wine is bright, medium-full, complex and filigreed, with lovely mineral
undertow, zesty acids and superb focus and grip on the long, classy and absolutely dancing
finish. This is one of the best Scheurebe Kabinetten I have ever tasted! 2020-2050. 94 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2018 Keller Spätburgunder Rosé (Morstein) (268 kr)

Ja, vad ska man säga...? Så familjen Keller har rankor av Pinot noir i...Morstein. Och då väljer de ändå att använda lite av dessa ursällsynta druvor till att göra en...rosé. Igen: vad ska man säga?

2018 Keller Grüner Silvaner Trocken (154 kr)

The 2018 Grüner Silvaner Trocken from Weingut Keller had been bottled only two weeks before my visit, but was showing beautifully. This is 11.5 percent octane this year and offers up a lovely and quite serious nose of tart orange, grapefruit, chalky minerality and a lovely, smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and beautifully balanced, with bright acids and lovely length and grip. Germany's most popular wine to pair with white asparagus is outstanding this year and a great bargain! 90 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2018 Keller Riesling Trocken (158 kr)

I cannot recall ever having a better, basic Riesling Trocken from Klaus-Peter, and I am sure the ramping up of the average age of vines for each bottling is the reason for this! The bouquet is flat out stunning, soaring from the glass in a complex blend of pink grapefruit, blood orange, chalky soil tones, wild yeasts, dried flowers and a topnote of orange peel. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish and again, really deep at the core, with great acidity and grip, superb focus and a very long, very classy and beautifully complex finish. This is not all that far off the quality level of the GGs fifteen years ago! It is a stunning value. 91 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2018 Keller Riesling von der Fels (248 kr)

Honed-in purity and focus are the hallmarks of this Riesling. Citrus and green fruit are the exclusive appetizers on the nose. Not only is the acidity knife-edged, but there's also magnificent depth and focus. Stunning freshness and minerality on the finish with iron-filings that might just shave off a few taste buds! 96 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2018 von der Fels Riesling Trocken is magnificent this year and is probably the very finest bargain in the universe of dry Rieslings in all of Germany in this vintage! The wine offers up a beautifully pure and vibrant bouquet of pink grapefruit, tart orange, chalky minerality, dried flowers, citrus peel, a dollop of wild yeasts and a gently smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, precise and impressive tensile for the vintage, with a great core, superb elegance and focus, outstanding backend mineral drive and a very long, very pure and complex finish. Great juice. 93 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2018 Keller (Westhofen Kirchspiel) Riesling 'RR' Goldkapsel (357 kr)

Känner du dig lockad av att dricka Kellers berömda Kirchspiel Riesling Grosses Gewächs? Jancis Robinson har gett Keller Kirchspiel Riesling GG 2018 maximala 20/20 poäng (som en jämförelse brukar viner som till exempel Kellers G-Max få 19 eller 19,5 poäng). Vad få dock känner till, är att du kan dricka Kellers Kirchspiel för en bråkdel av det priset! Närmare bestämt 357 kr (klicka på länken ovan).

Kellers Riesling 'RR' Goldkapsel har blivit en riktigt kultklassiker, just för att den är så sällsynt. Och för att du kan dricka Kirchspiel till ett budgetpris. Druvorna kommer nämligen från i stort sett samma plats där druvorna skördas för Kirchspiel Grosses Gewächs, men mitt i vingården finns det en liten plot (0,33 ha), som innehåller extra järnrik jord, där röd kalksten (snarare än gul kalksten) dominerar. Eftersom Klaus-Peter Keller tycker om terroir och varje vingårds egna, unika uttryck, görs all jäsning endast av naturliga jästsorter. "Mother Nature is the Boss", som KP brukar säga. Vad som nästan årligen inträffar, är att ett enstaka fat från just denna järnrika plot inte jäser ut tillräckligt (restsötman stannar på 11-12 gram istället för maximala 9 gram för att legalt få kallas för Grosses Gewächs). Han skulle kunna blanda ut det fatet med övriga och sälja vinet som GG till betydligt högre priser. Istället väljer Keller att låta fatet vara kvar och säljer det mycket billigare - samma vin från samma vingård (Westhofener Kirchspiel) men med 2-3 gr mer restsötma.

Här är exempel på hur vinkritiker brukar beskriva detta sällsynta vin, oavsett årgång. "Keller's Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling RR once again reflects especially ripe fruit from an iron-rich sector in this site and illustrates the rather obvious fact (though one ignored by the vast majority of Germany's elite growers) that judicious residual sugar can render a riper wine more elegant simply because of reduced alcohol. And rest assured that there is more than enough acidity and extract here to buffer the modest level of residual sugar in question. Penetrating scents of kirsch and mirabelle distillates with hints of mint and a whiff of wood smoke lead to a substantial yet bright palate whose sappy multi-citrus intensity preserves into a gripping finish the invigoratingly piquant and pungent elements adumbrated in the nose. A hint of honey underscores the richness of ripe fruit while salt and stone add further complexity." (The Wine Advocate)

2017 Keller (Westhofen Kirchspiel) Riesling 'RR' Goldkapsel (349 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Precis som ovan, ställer vi frågan igen: känner du dig lockad av att dricka Kellers berömda Kirchspiel Riesling Grosses Gewächs? Årgången (2017) finns faktiskt att köpa på nätet i skrivande stund för ca 2.300 kr om du håller dig till Europa och om du skyndar dig (frakt tillkommer). Och nästa årgång lär inte bli så mycket billigare nu när Jancis Robinson gav Keller Kirchspiel Riesling GG 2017 19,5 poäng av 20 (som en jämförelse brukar viner som till exempel Kellers G-Max få 19 eller 19,5 poäng). Vad få dock känner till, är att du kan dricka Kellers Kirchspiel för en bråkdel av det priset! Närmare bestämt 349 kr (klicka på länken ovan).

Kellers Riesling 'RR' Goldkapsel har blivit en riktigt kultklassiker, just för att den är så sällsynt. Och för att du kan dricka Kirchspiel till ett budgetpris. Druvorna kommer nämligen från i stort sett samma plats där druvorna skördas för Kirchspiel Grosses Gewächs, men mitt i vingården finns det en liten plot (0,33 ha), som innehåller extra järnrik jord, där röd kalksten (snarare än gul kalksten) dominerar.

2016 Keller Westhofen Riesling 'KR' (Kalkfels Reserve) Goldkapsel (498 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Kanske Kellers mest sällsynta vin! Enligt samma devis som ovan, skapade en liten plot i Kirchspiel under just år 2016 följande vin, som inte ville jäsa de sista två gram som krävdes för att buteljera det som mycket dyrare Kirchspiel GG. Just detta år kände KP att vinet var osedvanligt bra och skapade därför en ny buteljering som endast gjordes den här årgången. Han frågade oss - "Jag har ett enda fat - hur många flaskor behöver ni i Sverige?". Grattis till dig som lyckades få tag i några av de sista flaskorna på Systembolaget!

This "Kalkfels Reserve" or "Kirchspiel Reserve" - take your pick - reflects a share of wine from Kirchspiel that finished not quite legally trocken. Its 11 grams of sugar surely play a role in what comes off as an explosively fruity albeit dry-tasting performance loaded with succulent white peach, tart-edged, seedy kiwi and crisp apple. The upshot is a silken-textured, infectiously juicy, startlingly tingling and consummately refreshing Riesling. A combination of mint and chalk suffusion lends the long, vibrant finish a delightfully cooling cast. "You ferment spontaneously, and I don't get a bellyache over whether you end up being trocken, halbtrocken or with 30 grams of sugar. Do whatever you think right!" quipped Keller, imagining that he was addressing the newly pressed must. He didn't let me back him into a corner over the question of why his must from the especially iron-rich portion of Kirchspiel in question so often finishes halbtrocken, a condition that seems to perfectly complement the cool, chalky Kirchspiel traits that in the realm of legal dryness can sometimes become austere. But he did offer this further comment with a grin: "You could never do this with Morstein" - by which I presume he means he would never let it happen! 94 points (David Schildknecht, Vinous)

2007 Keller Kirchspiel Riesling 'R' (975 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

"If I had to choose one wine to show how great dry German Riesling can be I would choose a Keller riesling. Those wines are the German Montrachets"

"Perhaps no producer in the world has seen a rise in popularity and prices at the rate we are witnessing with Klaus Peter Keller's Rheinhessen Grosses Gewächs wines. The quality has been superb for many years now, but small production met with rapidly growing interest is a bit of a nightmare scenario as a retailer."

Till sist en riktig pärla! Rieslaner! Du kanske tror att vi har stavat "Riesling" fel men druvan heter faktiskt Rieslaner och är en korsning mellan just Riesling och Silvaner. Som Wine Advocate's vinkritiker mycket riktigt påpekar (nedan), är legendariska vinmakaren Hans-Günther Schwartz på Müller-Catoir i Pfalz den som satte druvsorten på kartan genom att producera det ena fantastiska Rieslaner-vinet efter den andra, med flera skyhöga poäng från världens främsta vinkritiker, Robert Parker. Vad få vet, och här behöver vi bli lite personliga, är att Weingut Keller kanske inte hade funnits idag om det inte hade varit för just druvan Rieslaner. Klaus-Peter Kellers far, Klaus Keller (som porträtteras i tidskriften Vinum här ovan, just för hans passion för Rieslaner), var nämligen själv mycket förtjust i druvsorten och försökte bemästra konsten att tämja denna druva. Historien ville sig så att en ung kvinna råkade ta en klunk under en vinmässa och bli mäkta imponerad av hans Rieslaner. De började prata med varandra, tycke uppstod, de gifte sig och fick en son, Klaus-Peter Keller. Eller "KP" (kaa-pe), som alla hans vänner kallar honom. Tillsammans med sin fru Julia, sköter de idag Weingut Keller, fortfarande med mycket hjälp från fadern Klaus.

Och det är just här, bland de mindre kända druvsorterna, som KP's speciella personlighet får sitt utrymme. Keller äger några av de mest ikoniska vingårdarna i Tyskland, där hans mest eftertraktade Riesling-viner inte är i närheten av att mätta den enorma efterfrågan från hela världen. Tyvärr med ständigt stigande priser som följd. Många i vinvärlden vädjar att han ska omplantera flera av sina vingårdar till just Riesling men...han vägrar. Det är därför du idag bland annat kan dricka Scheurebe för under 200 kr från...Morstein (medan druvorna från vinrankorna intill går till Morstein Riesling GG, som idag kostar tusentals kronor). Eller som här, Rieslaner för under 300 kr. Han väljer att hålla kvar vid de mindre kända druvsorterna av personliga skäl; dels för att familjen själva faktiskt tycker om att dricka viner från druvor som Silvaner, Scheurebe, Rieslaner och Huxelrebe och dels när det gäller just Rieslaner, för att det var så hans föräldrar träffades. Grattis till alla er som lyckades komma över någon av de få flaskorna av detta och övriga viner från Weingut Keller på Systembolaget!

2016 Keller Rieslaner Auslese (299 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

"Because some wines I don't even show to wine critics", är KP's svar på vår ständigt återkommande fråga om varför vi inte ser några recensioner av vissa viner. Hur gör man då? Vi kan bara själva berätta hur vinet smakar. Det är ett vin med sötma, som balanseras upp av så mycket syra att det känns som ett friskt dessertvin. Aromerna och smakerna som böljar fram på tungan kan bäst beskrivas som en tropisk fruktkorg, med toner av mango, saftig persika, honungsmelon, ananas och saffran - med ett stänk av lime på slutet för att upprätthålla balansen.

Det vi gillar bäst med alla Kellers viner som inte tillhör KPs ultra-berömda Grosses Gewächs, är hans prissättning. Att kunna få smaka på dessa himmelska droppar för under 300 kr för en helflaska (då många Riesling Auslese från de bättre producenterna idag klättrar mot allt högre prisnivåer), är en hyllning av hans bestämda åsikt att världsklassviner framför allt ska kunna drickas av vanligt folk, inte bara av de som har råd att tävla om de dyraste samlarobjekten. Vinet är slut på Systembolaget men du kan göra en privatimport av oss till samma pris!

"As if this wine was dedicated to Hans Günter Schwarz, who made Rieslaner famous once at Müller-Catoir. Keller very much believes in Rieslaner, which is more exotic than Riesling, but just yields 15 to 20 hectoliters per hectare. "That's why nobody is planting Rieslaner anymore. To us it is pure antiquarianism, like driving an antique car." Since his mum and dad met for the first time while drinking Rieslaner, the variety will never be ripped out - likewise with the Scheurebe, as Keller promises."

To sum up: Klaus Peter Keller is now a Godfather not only of Riesling in all its varieties from dry to noble sweet, he also produces one of the best Scheurebe (dry) and Rieslaner (noble sweet) on planet wine; and since 2013, also some of the finest Pinot Noirs in the German speaking countries. If you see the armada of uncorked DRCs, Dujacs and Rousseaus in the kitchen, this does not leave us wondering. This man knows what's good, and has simply a great talent to adapt ideas and impressions, and to create something new." Stephan Reinhardt (The Wine Advocate)

2017 Keller Westhofen Riesling Auslese 375 ml (279 kr)

Usually 100% Morstein but this year 80% Morstein (grand cru) and 20% Abtserde. Many of the grapes looked like currants. Some botrytis. Sweet exotic fruit. Passion fruit, apricot, bitter orange, all jumping out of the glass. Still a light oily minerality. Wow, totally exotic fruit on the palate, rich, concentrated but no excess weight thanks to the outstanding acidity. High acid gives electricity on the palate, searing freshness but still remarkably in balance. 19/20 points (Jancis Robinson)

The 2017 Westhofener Auslese is a lovely and beautifully succulent example of the
vintage. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a vibrant blend of sweet peach, fresh pineapple,
honeycomb, salty limestone minerality and a topnote of orange blossoms. On the palate, the wine is medium-full, pure and racy, with beautiful balance, a fine core and superb cut and grip on the long, complex finish. There is really impressive backend mineral drive and lift here. 93 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2018 Dönnhoff Weissburgunder 'S' (274 kr)

Plenty of poached pears and loquat here, but there's also some pretty white pepper and fresh herbs. The medium-bodied palate has an edgy, citrusy quality with a chalky texture and tense, agile acidity. 92 points (Stuart Pigott)

2018 Dönnhoff Riesling Trocken (164 kr)

Brilliant transparency for an estate riesling here; this is glimmering in lightly soaked stones, white pepper, green apples and paprika. Very polished and very pure on the medium-bodied palate with loads of petrichor undertones. Taut and fine framed. 93 points (Stuart Pigott)

2018 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Kabinett (209 kr)

offering an interesting Kabinett from volcanic soils to go with the classic slate of the Leistenberg. The bouquet here is bright and complex, wafting from the glass in a mix of apple, a touch of fresh pineapple, lovely minerality, a hint of orange peel and a topnote of white lilies. On the palate the wine is medium-full, crisp and beautifully balanced, with lovely intensity of flavor and backend bounce, excellent focus and a long, complex finish. Lovely juice. 2019-2050. 95+ points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2018 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 375 ml (294 kr)

This is a very contrastive sweet wine with sliced melon, white peaches and honey. Dried fruit. Full-bodied yet compact and tight, giving it an agile tension. Fresh and energetic acidity. Salted caramel aftertaste. Great wine. One for the cellar. 97 points (Stuart Pigott)

For several decades, Helmut Dönnhoff has been of the opinion that an Auslese is a wine that needs botrytis and every example here has been a botrytized wine, at least to some degree. So, it is a great rarity to find not one, but two completely clean Auslesen in the family's cellars this year made from golden and shriveled berries and no noble rot. The 2018 Brücke Auslese is a beautiful wine in the making, offering up a lovely aromatic constellation of pear, white cherries, honeycomb, bee pollen, apple blossoms and a lovely foundation of salty, slate minerality. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and nascently complex, with a lovely core, great focus and grip, snappy acids and a very long, dancing and still quite youthful finish. Drink it 2030-2090. 95 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2018 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 375 ml (314 kr)

The purity and precision of the 2018 Hermannshöhle Auslese is the stuff that legends used to be made from. The bouquet is complex and utterly refined, offering up scents of pear, white cherries, bee pollen, a touch of orange zest, lovely salinity and a mineral bath of slate. On the palate the wine is fullish, racy and utterly seamless in its balance, with great intensity of flavor, laser-like focus and truly stunning mineral drive on the backend (particularly for Auslese), with an endless and magical finish. Drink it 2032-2090+. 98 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

Intense minerality, burnt orange and praline character. Full-bodied and very sweet, yet the acidity backs up the palate and breaks out and amazes you. Vertical and poised. 97 points (Stuart Pigott)

2008 Baumard Quarts de Chaume 375 ml (299 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Rich, but pure and incredibly focused, with a laser beam of chamomile and quince cutting through the core of dried pineapple, white peach, Cavaillon melon and green plum. The finish has buried minerality, gorgeous mouthfeel and superb length. Drink now through 2030. 95 points (Wine Spectator)

2011 Baumard Clos Ste Catherine Coteaux du Layon (339 kr)

This shows good tension from the start, with ginger and white peach notes that help stretch out the core of glazed pear, yellow apple and quince flavors. The long, heather-lined finish is delicious, with enough zip to reward some cellaring. 92 points (Wine Spectator)

2018 Luigi Pira Dolcetto d'Alba (143 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

The 2018 Dolcetto d'Alba is a dark, muscular wine. Black cherry, graphite, spice, licorice and dried flowers are some of the many notes that give the 2018 its brooding, intense personality. This is an especially potent Dolcetto, but it has impeccable balance - not to mention tons of character. 89 points (Antonio Galloni, Vinous)

2017 Luigi Pira Langhe Nebbiolo (199 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget

The 2017 Langhe Nebbiolo is another superb wine in this range. The Nebbiolo here is a large, ample wine built on real textural breadth. Crushed flowers, spice, sweet pipe tobacco and cedar give the 2017 lovely aromatic lift to play off its natural richness and muscle. This is such a distinctive wine. 90 points (Antonio Galloni, Vinous)

2015 Luigi Pira Barolo di Serralunga (312 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget

The 2015 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is a gorgeous entry-level Barolo from Gianpaolo Pira. Rich and dense, yet not at all overdone, the 2015 offers up a beguiling mix of Serralunga aromatics, fruit and structure. Orange peel, spice, dried flowers, mint and licorice all run through this rich, beautifully textured Barolo. The 2015 is truly a superb wine in its peer group. Don't miss it. 91 points (Antonio Galloni, Vinous)

2015 Marengo Barolo Brunate (497 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

The 2015 Barolo Brunate is decidedly not a shy wine. It opens to dark color saturation and varietal aromas that are dark and thick in character. That characteristic power and determination of the Brunate cru is played forward with perfect pitch. This wine shows compact and firm structure, like tight bricks layered one on top of the other, to form the density and richness that makes such a lasting impact on the palate. 95+ points (The Wine Advocate)

This attractive red features sweet, ripe cherry, raspberry, licorice and leather flavors, with iron, tar and tobacco accents. Complex, yet elegant and well-toned, this remains long, exhibiting dense tannins and bright acidity. Shows excellent balance and intensity. Best from 2023 through 2042. 95 points (Wine Spectator)

2016 Clos du Mont Olivet Cotes-du-Rhone Séraphine (189 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

The top Côtes du Rhône is the 2016 Côtes du Rhône A Séraphin and it's going to be an outstanding wine. This cuvee includes slightly more Syrah than the Vieilles Vignes and it shows, with the wine offers more olive, pepper and dark fruits. It too is medium to full-bodied, polished and elegant on the palate, and has loads to love. 90-93 points (Jeb Dunnuck)

2016 Clos du Mont Olivet Chateauneuf-du-Pape (299 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

The finest base cuvée produced at this estate is the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which is 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah and the balance Cinsault, all aged in a mix of foudre and older barrels. Beautiful plums, blackberries, garrigue, and marine-like seaweed and iodine notes all give way to a pure, polished, full-bodied Châteauneuf-du-Pape that has integrated acidity and a great finish. It's a sensational classic cuvée that will keep for 2+ decades. 94 points (Jeb Dunnuck)

Sharply focused black raspberry, cherry pit, potpourri and garrigue scents pick up a bright, smoky nuance with air. Nicely concentrated raspberry and floral pastille flavors are given spicy bite by a suggestion of white pepper. Fine-grained tannins come in slowly to add shape and grip to the strikingly long, vibrant, floral-driven finish. This is quite a graceful wine for the vintage, and while it should drink well young, it will also age well on its balance. 93 points (Josh Raynolds, Vinous)

Solid, with a ripe core of raspberry and plum pâte de fruit flavors that sparkles with detailed anise, apple wood and sweet tobacco notes. Has weight and depth, but the acidity is fresh, allowing this to stretch out through the finish. Best from 2019 through 2030. 93 points (Wine Spectator)

2016 Dönnhoff Felsenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs (439 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Unexpectedly charming on the nose for a wine from volcanic soil this has stunning grapefruit and lime character. Then just when you think it's a nice guy the totally radical, smoky and mineral finish comes through to remind you how strong nature can be! 97 points (Stuart Pigott)

2017 Dönnhoff Weissburgunder 'S' (269 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Completely different and with a firmer texture than Dönnhoff's other 2017 wines from this grape. Riper, too. This combination gives it a special personality, in spite of the common thread of lemony acidity. Very food friendly. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green certification. 92 points (Stuart Pigott)

2017 Dönnhoff Roxheimer Höllepfad Riesling Trocken Erste Lage (265 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

This is no top GG for its weight or power, but it's got enormous, herbal intensity and super minerally acidity that keeps pumping out the flavors at the very fresh finish. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green certification. 94 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2017 Höllenpfad Erste Lage Trocken is an excellent wine and close to GG quality in
this vintage. The bouquet is pure, focused and quite impressive, offering up scents of pink
grapefruit, lemon, a wild yeasts, a touch of caraway seed, salty minerality, dried flowers and
orange peel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and seamlessly
balanced, with racy, ripe acids, excellent focus and grip and a fine sense of extract on the long
and complex finish. A superb wine in the making. 92+ points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2017 Dönnhoff Felsenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs (445 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Spirit of Melissa, eau de vie de mirabelle, gentle and pure fragrance. The palate takes you from mellow to vibrant, sporting highlights of ripe yellow fruit, stony minerality and invigorating acidity. A rich texture invites the taste buds to relax before they find themselves in the grip of a long chewy tactile finish. A Grosses Gewächs that puts the palate through its paces. 19/20 points (Jancis Robinson)

Lovely fresh-pineapple and yellow-grapefruit notes with hints of smoke and flint. The palate is concentrated, cool and dry with a very long, mineral finish. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green certification. 95 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2017 Grosses Gewächs bottling from the Felsenberg is another absolutely superb wine in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure and youthfully complex, delivering a constellation of pink grapefruit, wild yeasts, a superb base of volcanic soil tones, dried flowers and a bit of fleur de sel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is crisp, deep and full, with a rock solid core, a great sense of elegance out of the blocks, ripe, seamless acids and a long, focused and perfectly balanced finish. This will take more time to blossom than either of the GGs above, but it will be well worth the wait! Superb juice. 94 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2017 Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling Grosses Gewächs (545 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Purity. That's what this is and one could finish there. Or write a eulogy. Orchard, stone fruit, eau de vie, viscosity, vibrancy, vigour, brilliance. Poetry on the palate. 19/20 points (Jancis Robinson)

This defines high elegance. Everything you look for in a dry white wine with very fine aromas of white and yellow peaches, but also a thousand wild herbs and flowers. Enormous delicacy at the very long finish. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green certification. 98 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2017 Hermannshöhle Grosses Gewächs is again, one of the very finest recent vintages of this bottling that I have had the pleasure to taste. The complex bouquet offers up a fine mélange of grapefruit, tart orange, citrus zest, a complex base of salty slate minerality, dried flowers, a touch of wild yeasts and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very sleek in profile out of the blocks, with a superb core of fruit, excellent mineral drive, bright acids and a very, very long, complex and perfectly balanced finish. Great juice. 96 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2017 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 375 ml (289 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Hold on to your hat! This is so concentrated and so filigree. Somewhere in this tightly coiled maelstrom of flavors is a bunch of sweetness. Yet, every time you think you've got it, it slips away. Breathtakingly long and fresh finish. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green certification. Very limited production. 98 points (Stuart Pigott)

Helmut Dönnhoff noted that the 2017 Brücke Goldkapsel Auslese includes about thirty percent botrytized grapes, with the rest of the bunches comprised of perfectly golden berries. The wine has a must weight of one hundred and ten Oechsle and 10.8 grams per liter of acidity this year. The youthful nose is flat out beautiful, offering up scents of pear, white cherries, a touch of passion fruit, honeycomb, fruit blossoms and a nice touch of salty minerality. On the palate the wine is fullish, pure and vibrant, with a lovely core of fruit, juicy complexity and fine focus and grip on the long, balanced and nicely salty finish. A superb bottle in the making. 95+ points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2017 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese (229 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Smoky and subtle. This is a very elegant and sophisticated Spätlese with the delicacy you look for in the best examples of this category. The finish is very long, vibrant and mineral. Drink or hold. This has long aging potential. 94 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2017 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is coolish, clear and flinty on the stony nose with slightly discreet aromas of white nectarine and peach. Lush and intense on the palate, this is a concentrated, very mineral and vibrant Sonnenuhr with slightly sweet fruit and lingering salinity. A classic style, this is highly stimulating and digestible. 94 points (The Wine Advocate)

2017 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Auslese 'Schmitt' (390 kr)

The 2017er Schmitt, as it is referred to on the main label, was block-harvested at 108° Oechsle in the similarly named Lieu-Dit situated in a steep hill part of the Zeltinger Schlossberg vineyard (the reference to Zeltinger Schlossberg is only mentioned on the back label). It offers a remarkably
delicate and refreshing nose of white flowers, yellow peach, almond cream, smoke and spices. The wine is impressively smooth and honeyed on the gentle and subtly intense palate, yet the finish is a miracle of subtle candied fruits and almond cream. This hugely impressive Auslese GK-styled dessert wine will need more than a decade to fully come around but will then prove utterly irresistible. 96+ points (Mosel Fine Wines)

The 2017 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Auslese Schmitt is clear and noble on the flinty but slightly reductive nose. Lush and generous but shining and clear, precise and piquant on the palate, this is a charmingly elegant, finessed and salty Riesling of great class and style. This is a bright and beautiful Riesling from a single plot behind the church of Zeltingen. 96 points (The Wine Advocate)

2017 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese*** (545 kr)

If you have never had a Mosel Auslese before, this would be exactly the right place to start. All the citrus fruits pours from the glass. Concentrated but also very elegant with a finish so fresh that it takes your breath away. 96 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2017er Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese was harvested at a full 122° Oechsle from very old un- grafted vines. It offers a deep and highly complex nose reminiscent of that of a BA as notes of mango, honey, some raisin, fig, orange marmalade, and candied pineapple emerge from the glass. Creamy viscosity, apple jelly, baked spices and marzipan as well as mirabelle and candied plum underline the BA character on the lusciously creamy palate. This beauty is still on the sweet side but already impresses through its hugely long finish and beautiful presence in the after-taste. It may even exceed our very high expectations at maturity if it gains in finesse. 96+ points (Mosel Fine Wines)

The three-starred 2017 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese *** is concentrated, clear and spicy on the flinty nose. Vinified in a 500-liter stainless steel tank, this lush and mouth-filling but filigreed and highly delicate Auslese is based on perfect botrytis grapes. This is a gorgeously salty Auslese with fine tannins and good grip on the citrusy, grapefruity finish. Highly stimulating but far too young. 96+ points (The Wine Advocate)

2016 Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck Riesling Grosses Gewächs (499 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

If you don't already know the wines of the Nahe be prepared to be blown away by this astonishing dry riesling. Super-ripe yet cool, mineral and herbal it has enormous depth, yet remains totally vibrant. The acidity pushes you right off a cliff and you free fall through the minerals for a very long time at the truly spectacular finish. 99 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2016 Nahe Riesling Felseneck "GG" is super pure, precise, crystalline and flinty on the nose and palate, a great expression of the slatey terroir. There is a fascinating blueberry and floral expression like that of the Halenberg but even more fragrant and intertwined with notes of crushed slate. Harvested at the very end of October, this is a highly elegant, finessed and balanced Felseneck with perfectly ripe, juicy fruit. The wine is dry but perfectly balanced, while the finish is long, piquant and salty, full of crushed stones, fine tannins and lingering fruit intensity. The 2016 is a great dry Riesling and probably the best I have tasted here so far. 98 points (The Wine Advocate)

Cooling mint and high-toned evocations of bittersweet floral perfume (iris, gentian) mingle with struck flint, sea breeze, wet stone and other anticipations of the remarkable diversity of mineral nuances that characterize the polished, vibrant midpalate. Nor is there any lack of luscious primary fruit in the familiar but not for that reason any less alluring guise of white peach and lime. The striking interaction of fruity, floral, and stony, smoky, crystalline, nearly ineffable mineral elements on the finish takes on kaleidoscopic dynamic and complexity, while a strong upwelling of maritime salinity serves to milk the salivary glands. The sense of sheer energy and penetration here goes beyond even that of the old-vines-dominated Stromberg, leaving one's gullet reverberating like the swelling of an overtone-rich organ pipe. 97 points (David Schildknecht, Vinous)

2017 Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck Riesling Kabinett (195 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Some people think that Kabinett means a light and simple wine, but this has a great mint, citrus and mineral character. Very long and crisp finish that is super-fresh. Bring me those spicy prawns now! 93 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2017 Felseneck Kabinett is a beautifully pure, delicate and filigreed example of its Prädikat level. The wine is eight percent alcohol and carries forty-eight grams per liter of residual sugar to buffer its 9.8 grams per liter of acidity. The gorgeous bouquet offers up scents of white cherries, pear, a salty base of slate, gentle smokiness and an esthery topnote of bee pollen. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, pure and zesty, with lovely intensity of flavor, a classic delicacy of footstep and a very long, complex and dancing finish. A beautiful bottle of Kabinett! Drink it 2018-2040. 93+ points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2017 Schäfer-Fröhlich Vulkangestein Riesling Trocken (219 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

The flint and smoke nose could hardly be more minerally. Powerful and racy with stunning, lemon acidity and a big punch of minerality at the long, bold finish. 94 points (Stuart Pigott)

From mature stands of vines, largely in the Stromberg, this was harvested around a week ahead of the corresponding Grosses Gewächs. Crushed stone is suggested already on the nose, along with pit-tinged peach and zesty grapefruit. The palpably dense palate displays strong piquancy and palpable stone suffusion to complement its rich, generously-juicy fruit. The bright finish, in typical Schäfer-Fröhlich fashion, really gets a purchase on the salivary glands. 92 points (David Schildknecht, Vinous)

The 2017 Vulkangestein Trocken was bottled two weeks prior to my visit, but showing wonderfully. The blend this year is more heavily tilted to the Stromberg vineyard than the usually one-third each of Stromberg, Felsenberg and Kupfergrube fruit, as the Stromberg was not frosted and the Schlossböckelheim vineyards were hit a bit by the freeze. As is the case with the 2017 Estate Riesling, the wine has an extra level of depth and complexity this year. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a superb nose of grapefruit, lemon, wild yeasts, citrus peel, a very complex base of volcanic minerality and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is racy, full and very elegant in profile, with a superb core, stunning length and grip and a very complex, vibrant and refined finish. This is a superb bottle of wine by any measure! 92+ points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2017 Schäfer-Fröhlich Schiefergestein Riesling Trocken (248 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

Very flinty and slightly funky, but there's also a ton of tart peaches and some floral notes. Long, complex finish that pulls you back for more of this stunning, village-level wine. 94 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2017 Schiefergestein Bockenaur Riesling Trocken had only been in bottle one week before my visit, but again, was still showing very well indeed. The wine offers up a very flinty profile on both the nose and palate this year, with the bouquet delivering scents of lemon, green apple, salty, slate minerality, wild yeasts, plenty of smokiness and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and absolutely rock solid at the core, with ripe, snappy acids, great focus and grip and a very long, minerally and complex finish. Another village wine at grand cru quality! Drink it 2020-2050. 92+ points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

2017 Schäfer-Fröhlich Stromberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs (489 kr)

It's hard to imagine how a riesling could have a more northerly personality than this cool, delicate and very elegant wine. Great balance and very long, saline finish. From a forgotten, top site that Tim Fröhlich reactivated in 2012. 97 points (Stuart Pigott)

The Stromberg GG here is often not quite as elegant as the very top grand cru bottlings,
but this is not the case in 2017, as the lower yields from the frosts have given this wine a
precision I can seldom recall in previous young vintages. The bouquet is pure and complex,
wafting from the glass in a superb blend of grapefruit, tart orange, lime zest, ocean-like salinity,
white flowers and a great base of minerality. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and racy,
with outstanding mid-palate intensity, seamless balance and a very long, focused and superbly
complex finish. This is the finest young vintage of Stromberg I have ever tasted from Tim
Fröhlich! 96+ points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

White peach, gooseberry and lime are laced in the nose with chamomile, peppermint and pennyroyal. Those juxtapositions anticipate the dynamic of ripeness and citricity as well as of soothing and pungently invigorating elements that characterize this entire amazing performance. There is remarkable sheer succulence and intensity of glowingly pit-tinged white peach, zesty lime and crunchy, seedy gooseberry on the surprisingly silken palate. It's as if concentration of fruit flavors were inversely proportional to the Stromberg's rocky, virtually topsoil-free surface. But this is not to suggest that mineral flavor elements are short-changed. Far from it! That "dark minerality" that Fröhlich deems can be unpacked as some combination of smoky peat and black tea with stone suffusion and alkaline accents. "As ripe as they might get," notes Fröhlich, "the berries on these old vines never lose their greenish tint or make the transition to deep gold," and that is reflected in the vivid freshness and juicy animation of a long, fugal finish that tingles the tongue and tugs at the cheeks. If Bockenau's virtues went virtually unnoticed until the 21st century, those of today's Stromberg sites were almost completely unknown until Schäfer-Fröhlich produced their first, vintage 2012 Grosses Gewächs showcasing them. "When we had to demonstrate to the VDP with historical evidence that this site was Grosses Gewächs-worthy," relates Fröhlich, "we uncorked a [nearly-dry] 1957 Spätlese from my grandfather that was unbelievably fresh and fine." 96 points (David Schildknecht, Vinous)

2017 Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck Riesling Grosses Gewächs magnum, 1500 ml (1147 kr)

750 ml lanseras nästa år!

The 2017 Felseneck Grosses Gewächs is yet another utterly brilliant young wine. The
nose soars from the glass in a youthfully complex blend of tart orange, pink grapefruit, blood
orange, spring flowers, a beautiful base of salty slate minerality, a touch of petrol and a gentle
topnote of wild yeasts. On the palate the wine is full, pure and again electric with ripe acidity this
year, with a rock solid core, laser-like focus and great cut and grip on the complex, long and
utterly seamless finish. This is pure magic. 99 points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

Deep and dark in the nose, but blessed with ravishing, tart stone-fruit character on the palate that is almost perfectly balanced by the intense mineral acidity. Enormously long and surprisingly charming finish for a Schäfer-Fröhlich wine. Huge aging potential. 98 points (Stuart Pigott)

In no previous vintage has Felseneck found Stromberg breathing down its neck to the same degree; but Schäfer-Fröhlich's flagship rises to the challenge and once again emerges with top honors. Penetratingly pungent but also hauntingly, bittersweetly-perfumed notes fill the nose: grapefruit, white currant, struck flint, violet and iris. The satiny but fundamentally firm, indeed, almost implacably dense palate presents a vibrantly tangy welter of citrus with crunchy tart berry and coriander seed, smoky, fusil and otherwise mineral nuances, and striking inner-mouth florality, all underlain by wet stone. Savor of fleur de sel improbably paired with bitter chocolate, adds to a mouthwatering, vibratory, dizzyingly complex finish that just won't quit. 97 points (David Schildknecht, Vinous)

2017 Haart Goldtröpfchen Riesling Kabinett (176 kr)

A baroque bouquet for this category. Crisp and dry enough to fit everything into this sleek frame. The powerful finish is seriously impressive. 94 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2017 Goldtröpfchen Kabinett is a fine bottle in the making. The numbers on this wine are nine percent alcohol, nine grams per liter of acidity and thirty-seven grams per liter of residual sugar. The wine delivers fine aromatic sophistication in its mix of cassis, peach, salty slate undertow, a touch of citrus zest and a lovely, esthery topnote of bee pollen. On the palate the wine is medium-full, complex and well-balanced, with a superb touch of backend salinity and lift on the long and zesty finish. Fine juice. 92+ points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

This is filled to the brim with apricot, peach and cream flavors, offering plenty of cardamom notes. The juicy finish is powered by luscious vanilla and mineral details. Elegant and balanced. Drink now through 2028. 92 points (Wine Spectator)

2017 Zilliken Saarburger Riesling Trocken (179 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

One for Saar riesling fans and acid hounds! A delicate herbal and blossom character. Light and sleek with quite a steely and long mineral finish. 91 points (Stuart Pigott)

2017 Zilliken Rausch Riesling Kabinett (225 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget - kan beställas av oss via privatimport

The 2017 Rausch Kabinett is also stellar. The nose delivers beautiful precision in its classic  mélange of lemon, pineapple, smoky overtones, a hint of Rausch botanicals, a great base of slate minerality and a gentle topnote of wild yeasts. On the palate the wine is pure, mediumbodied and electric, with superb complexity and lift, laser-like focus and a very, very long, filigreed and dancing finish. Another absolutely beautiful Kabinett. 94+ points (John Gilman, View from the Cellar)

A very compact and concentrated wine for a Kabinett with a ton of fruit-salad character and so much mineral freshness, which keeps it light on its feet. Great juiciness at the long vibrant finish. 94 points (Stuart Pigott)

The 2017 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Kabinett has a clear and concentrated bouquet of perfectly ripe (and golden) Riesling berries and even raisins. The attack on the palate is pure and fresh, while the wine is beautifully juicy, piquant and delicate, with a well-structured and intensely aromatic finish. This is a fabulous Riesling, although it drinks like a filigreed Spätlese. Picked at 91° Oechsle. 93-94 points (The Wine Advocate)

2017 Zilliken Rausch Riesling Spätlese (310 kr) Slutsåld på Systembolaget

The 2017 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Spätlese offers a beautifully fine Riesling bouquet with slate, honey and raisin aromas. What a gorgeous mix of purity, precision and richness! Lush and highly delicate on the palate, this is a gorgeous Spätlese with great elegance and finesse. The wine is intense and tight but long and complex with endless minerals. Tasted as a sample in March 2018. This is already a great win. 95-96 points (The Wine Advocate)

Beautiful apricot and lemon nose. A stunning balance of power and vibrancy on the palate, which leads to that whiplash finish that's so fresh it could wake the dead. You can measure the aging potential of this in decades, but it's already stunning. 95 points (Stuart Pigott)
