{"product_id":"weingut-keller-riesling-rr-2025","title":"Weingut Keller - Riesling 'RR' 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eKeller's \"RR\" is one of those insider's bottles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNormally, the wine is sourced from a rare red-soil parcel within the Kirchspiel. This cask rarely ferments totally dry and the Kellers have always enjoyed the natural balance of the wine. It's what we'd call a \"feinherb\" - the wine is just a bit off-dry. Normally, you'll see the bottle labeled as \"Kirchspiel RR,\" the \"RR\" denoting \"Riesling\" from the \"Red\" soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI think the temptation for the Kellers was too much; \u003cem\u003ethey had to combine these parcels, these casks.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is labeled only as \"RR\" - KP was the one to joke with me in a text that this year the \"RR\" stands for \"Rolls Royce.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHave no doubt, this is a \u003cem\u003eserious\u003c\/em\u003e feinherb, just barely off-dry with somewhere around 12 grams of residual sugar and an electric acidity that clocks in at over eight grams per liter. This is one for the history books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a collection to ignore, which is perhaps an obvious sentiment, but there we are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe top Keller GGs - the dry wines - sell for many hundreds of dollars; the top Keller Kabinetts sell for many hundreds of dollars (to say nothing of the 2021 Keller Schubertslay Kabinett Auction which hammered for 1,200 Euros last year).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"RR\" is in the middle, in this beautiful gray area... the word to consider is neither \"dry\" nor \"sweet,\" but \"balanced\" - \u003cem\u003eperfectly balanced\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep in mind the Kellers also know the market's whims very well. Given a cask that did not ferment dry, they could have easily warmed up the cask, added yeasts - there are a number of tools available to the grower to encourage fermentation, to make the wine totally dry. If they had done this, the result would be a Morstein GG and an Abtserde GG they could sell for four to five times the price of the \"RR.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet they chose not to... because of this magical balance. There's an importer I really like who uses this phrase a lot: \"Never for money, always for love.\" The line works here too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weingut Keller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rheinhessen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riesling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRheinhessen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303084413064,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/2239\/7832\/files\/Weingut_Keller_-_Riesling_RR_2025.jpg?v=1786477009","url":"https:\/\/vinonueva.com\/products\/weingut-keller-riesling-rr-2025","provider":"VinoNueva Fine \u0026 Rare Wine Miami","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
