The 2022 Sylvaner Feuervogel comes from 60-year-old vines on the lighter (brighter) limestone soils in the Steingrube. It has a deep, pure, salty-spicy nose and continues this impression on the palate. Puristic and fresh, bright, clear and grippy, this is completely characterized by limestone and is enormously stimulating on the salty finish. It is a promising, still discreet but already vibrant Sylvaner that needs a little time. 12.5% stated alcohol.

The 2016 Silvaner Feuervogel is pure and mineral on the nose but rich and intense on the palate. Fermented and aged in large oak until June, this is a creamy-textured, lush, lovely, tannic, pure and well-structured Silvaner with grip, power and tension.

Keller's 2015 Silvaner Feuervogel offers a deep and subtle, very clear, fresh, elegant and aromatic nose of white and yellow-fleshed fruits (grapefruits and limes in the beginning, stone fruits after more aeration). There are also perfectly ripe pip fruit aromas and some smoky flavors. Medium to full-bodied, round and very elegant on the palate, this has an attractive, stimulating minerality, a vivid acidity and lingering salinity. This is a perfectly clear, highly delicate and perfectly balanced Sylvaner with a good grip and a dry, clear finish. A gorgeous Sylvaner.

The 2014 Silvaner Feuervogel is a selection from averaging 50 or more yearold vines in the Dalsheim Bürgel and Westhofen Steingrube. The bouquet is pure and discreet in its white and herbal fruit expression; the wine is dry, pure and round on the palate, very delicate but concentrated; it has less fruit expression than the Scheurebe, but a long and powerful finish that still reveals some stringent phenols.

Klaus Peter Keller's 2013 Silvaner Feuervogel opens with a clear, bright, fresh and spicy bouquet of white seed and lush yellow stone fruits as well as candied oranges and crushed limestones, indicating salinity and a certain amount of time of skin maceration and phenol extraction, which gives this Feuervogel (which translates as "fire bird") a distinctive but elegant and pure character. Lush and round on the delicate palate, with caramel flavors first but then lingering salinity and vitality, this is a very elegant and delicate yet full-bodied Sylvaner with grip and good tension on the finish. This is an excellent, gastronomic wine that is absolutely stable and vital after six years, and it should age very well over the decade ahead of us. Generous aeration is highly recommended, if you prefer to drink it at this stage. Tasted from my private cellar in January 2020.
