The devil isn’t in the details but in the very center of the peaches and mangoes. Amazing freshness, vitality and finesse on the superfocused, medium-bodied palate. What makes this stand out is the incredibly stony finish, a touch austere for some, but who can resist the ultimate in minerality? From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drinkable now but best from 2026.

Fallstaff Magazine:
"Light yellow-green with a silver sheen. Subtle notes of orange zest, a hint of tangerine, fine yellow tropical fruit, a bit of peach, a floral touch, a hint of candied lime. Complex, juicy, elegant, white fruit nuances, a lovely finesse to the acidity, lingers for minutes, a fine sweetness on the finish, already very seductive, in an elegant style, great ageing potential.-Peter Moser

The 2023 Riesling Kellerberg has immense and fragrant freshness, almost of Seville orange and distinct notions of crushed citrus foliage. The palate is taut and has lots of tension but shimmers with tangerine peel amidst all this brightness. The 2023 is lovely, tense, fine-boned and concentrated. It's a stony, brilliant Riesling in a pool of shimmering citrus notes. (Bone-dry) 95-97
