2022 Franz Keller Weißer Burgunder "Edition Fritz Keller"
Tasting note
Pale yellow. Restrained aromas on the nose. Primarily fruity with apple, pear, quince, and unripe peach. Medium intensity on the palate. The wine appears fresh given that it has relatively much CO2 for a still wine. The acidity is medium, but it isn't in balance with the rest, coming across as slightly green. I wouldn't be surprised if this Pinot Blanc had been acidified. Nothing wrong with that per se, I've just got the impression that the acidity doesn't support the aromas. The same goes for the CO2, unfortunately. Apart from that, the taste is clean and freshly fruity. Considering this is a wine produced for Aldi, this is without fault, not below average in its peer group, and a solid effort.
Drink through 2024.

| Flawed? | no | |
| DM: |
3Wines with a DM3 to DM4 rating are average on a fine wine level. They have been produced well, they have no apparent flaws or big imbalances that would put me off. On the other hand, they lack features that would make them stand out in a more positive way, i.e. they might lack intensity or a long finish. / 20 ("passable") |

Baden Baden is Germany's southernmost wine growing region. It stretches about 400 kilometers from north to south along the Rhine. Baden is also Germany's warmest wine region. Much like its French neighbour Alsace, its climate is heavily influenced by its location in between the Vosges and the Black Forest, shielding it from cold winds and heavy rains. Best-known for Burgundian varieties, especially Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder), Pinot Blanc (Weißburgunder) and Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder). More than 15,000 hectares of vineyards. Diverse soils, ranging from loess and volcanic stones in the Kaiserstuhl region to shell-limestone in Tauberfranken. |
