Production Details The 2013 P was assessed as a tank sample while still resting on its lees. Keller described his Nierstein Kabinetts as light, off-dry wines harvested in the low 80s °Oechsle rather than declassified higher-Prädikat wines. Site-level context: VDP reports Pettenthal at 90–170 m elevation with a 70–100% gradient; these ranges are not measurements of Keller's individual parcel.
Tasting Notes Filigree and light, with white peach, pink grapefruit, vivid acidity, pronounced mineral energy and a firm core
