"The 2011 Hubacker Grosses Gewachs, with its predominantly red soils, is quite different in profile from the chalky Kirchspiel, but it too is absolutely outstanding. The wine offers up a deep, intense and complex nose of pink grapefruit, orange peel, petrol, wet stone, wild yeasts and a topnote of fresh rosemary. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, transparent and rapier- like on the attack, with a rock solid core, brisk, ripe acids, stunning focus and grip and a very, very long, precise and stony finish. This is the most masculine of the Keller Grosses Gewachs bottlings in 2011, and it will be stunning with some bottle age. 2019-2050."

92 Joel Payne - Vinous Media

"Delicate aromas of white peach, sweet lime and persimmon. The crisp, clean structure of this wine belies the intense weight of invigorating apricot pit fruit. Fine smoky, salty minerality makes for an elegant finish. This is the most feminine of the estate's dry rieslings and the one that drinks the best in its youth."

92 David Schildknecht - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Pear, zesty lime and pineapple close to the core ally themselves to crystalline, alkaline and stony notes in Keller's 2011 Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewachs, leading to a juicy palate impression and finish that positively shimmer. Coriander seed, grapefruit rind, peach kernel, nut oils and quinine add piquant pungency to this impressively persistent performance that should be worth following for at least a decade. This site tends to wear its extract on its sleeve, but fortunately that doesn't this year preclude succulence, lift or refreshment. I think of Kirchspiel as feline, whereas Hubacker is a rather large canine bounding into your lap."
