Kühling-Gillot Niersteiner Oelberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2013

Crushed limestone and lime blossom lead into white peach, wet stone, and a focused mineral core. Dense in concentration yet oddly weightless on the palate, taut acidity holds everything in check without strain. The Roter Hang's signature salinity runs like a thread through the finish, long and clean. From Kühling-Gillot's biodynamic holdings on this storied slope, it's a compelling case for Rheinhessen dry Riesling at its most serious.
