It has been a while now since we wrote our article about one of our personal favourite wineries, Franz Keller, which you can read or re-read here.
This summer we spent a few days in the dramatic, sunny Kaiserstuhl and we were fortunate enough to stay an afternoon, a night, and a morning at lovely Franz Keller Weingut. Fritz Keller and Michaela Nübling kindly welcomed us and took us on a little tour of the winery and gave us an extensive tasting.
The winery itself is an architectural pearl nestled directly into the cliffs. The production site, restaurant, and bottle shop are delicately merged together without ever disturbing the different atmospheres. The backsite opens up to a small square, which leaves a large indoor/outdoor space great for events, such as weddings or concerts.
The evening was spent with a wonderful dinner at the modern restaurant Kellerwirtschaft while over-looking the sloping vineyards and the lavish breakfast was served at Schwarzer Adler. We can only repeat our high recommendations in our last article. It is the perfect stop if you are travelling through Kaiserstuhl or anywhere nearby.
Here are our notes from the tasting:
