Sourced from the higher, older vines in Abtserde, grown in limestone soils enriched with clay and iron oxide, with approximately 25% of the grapes being botrytized. Due to labeling regulations, “Abtserde'' can no longer appear on the label, so Klaus-Peter designates this wine as Abts E. This vintage saw low yields due to a major hailstorm on August 25th, but the surviving fruit was exceptional and benefited from a full, ripe growing season.

More than three-quarters of the fruit for this Auslese was healthy, reported Keller. Scents of quince jelly and white raisin anticipate the rich concentration delivered in a subtly oily mouthful of fruit. As with the corresponding Spätlese, welcome tangy brightness emerges, here in the form of fresh white currant and lime, whose seeds and zest team up for a striking tactile sense of innervation. In its intensity and sheer persistence, the finish reflects this wine’s almost implosive overall sense of concentration, though for now at least, it misses the sheer juiciness, vibrancy or sense of mineral suffusion delivered by the corresponding Spätlese.
