The Steinriese Spätburgunder is Franz Keller's iconic flagship wine. The Steinriese Spätburgunder (GG) comes from a small plot in the Oberberge Bassgeige 1er cru. This vineyard is located diagonally across from the winery. The 100% Burgundian, very old Pinot Noir clones grow here with very low yields. The vineyard is situated at a very high altitude (300-350 meters above sea level) and is characterized by the high iron oxide and even lime content of the volcanic terroir. This produces a very bright, fresh, and iodine-infused bouquet of wild red berries that is very reductive in its youth, yet quite sexy and stylish, with algae notes on the nose. On the palate, this is a silky, fresh, and very refined Pinot Noir with great tension and juicy concentration. The finish is taut, fresh, salty, and full of energy and tension. According to Parker, this is Keller's most exciting Pinot.
All the vineyards of the Franz Keller winery are located in the Kaiserstuhl region of Germany, which is part of the Baden wine region. Keller specializes in "Burgunders," meaning Pinots and Chardonnays. Their Spätburgunders (sometimes also called Pinot Noir because they work with clones from Burgundy) are particularly highly regarded internationally. While Magda van der Rijst considered it her "favorite producer of Spätburgunder from all of Germany" last year, this year Lars Daniëls will once again include a Keller wine on his shortlist at the Grosse Gewächse tasting in Wiesbaden.
The Kaiserstuhl is Germany's warmest and sunniest wine region, characterized by volcanic soils covered with fertile, high loess deposits that offer excellent growing conditions for what are known in Germany as Burgunder varieties, such as Weissburgunder, Grauburgunder, Chardonnay, and Spätburgunder. The Keller Winery boasts some truly stunning vineyards; click here for an overview. At Keller, they use only the finest, carefully selected grapes from the best vineyards and parcels: Schlossberg, Kirchberg, Eichberg, "Im Leh," and "Kähner." These wines are aged in their finest barrels and each possesses unique character, potential, and finesse—truly unique grand crus!

Keller's 2020 Steinriese Oberbergen Spätburgunder GG is sourced from the eponymous Gewann in the Oberbergener Bassgeige and is characterized by the stony volcanic soil with high levels of limestone and iron as much as the 100% Burgundian Pinot Noir clones with very low yields. It shows a deep, very ripe nose of rather cool dark fruits reminiscent of iodine and herbs. Silky, fresh and vital on the palate, this is a powerful but also delicate and even playful Pinot Noir with stimulating salinity and impressively dense, aromatic length. This is a great Pinot Noir from the Kaiserstuhl. It was aged for 18 months in French barriques (40% to 50% new). 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Wiesbaden, August 2022.

Franz Keller - expressive, ambitious wines from the Kaiserstuhl
The Franz Keller winery is located near the border with France in the southern German town of Vogtsburg im Kaiserstuhl, part of the state of Baden-Württemberg. Franz Keller winery has several vineyards in the Kaiserstuhl, which is part of the wine region of Baden. The Kaiserstuhl is Germany's warmest and sunniest wine region and is characterized by volcanic soils covered with fertile high loess deposits that provide excellent wine growing conditions for what they call Burgundersorten in Germany such as Weissburgunder, Grauburgunder, Chardonnay and Spätburgunder. The volcanic soils vary widely from vineyard to vineyard. This soil diversity contributes enormously to the exciting taste variation of the wines of this authentic winery.
The natural terraced environment is symbiotic with the winery, allowing gravity to be used during the wine production process. In addition, the unique architecture has been designed in such a way that wine production, cellar, tasting room and the restaurant KellerWirtschaft all fit under one roof. Fun fact about this roof: it is covered with native crops from Badberg, a nearby nature reserve. In this way, the natural conditions are enhanced by the building and its structure. Partly because the building has been dug into the ground, creating the optimal climatic conditions for wine maturation and storage.
Franz Keller - Schwarzer Adler is a gastronomic concept in Baden and actually in the rest of Germany. The company consists of a wine domain, wine import, wine trade, hotel and no less than 3 restaurants. Restaurant Schwarzer Adler has had a Michelin star continuously since 1969, making it the longest owner of all restaurants in Germany. The company is now owned by Fritz Keller, a man with boundless energy and lots of ideas.
His son Friedrich is mainly involved in wine making. The name Franz Keller stands for dry, refreshing, fruity but also complex and mineral-driven powerful wines. The wines are always of excellent, impeccable quality and are highly appreciated in Germany and far beyond, such as up to 94 points Parker and 5 stars Eichelmann. The winery considers it very important that the terroir, the origin and the character of the wine are reflected in the taste. The winemaking approach is inspired by the wines and the "savoir-vivre" of their French neighbors. The aim of this winery has been from the very beginning to make wines that are the perfect accompaniment to good food.
You can of course buy Franz Keller wines online at Grandcruwijnen.nl, the wine trade with one of the largest wine collections in the Netherlands and Belgium, where you can order both special wines and wines for every budget. Quality products, fast delivery & reliable service that is Grand Crus!
