Kühling-Gillot Riesling Niersteiner Ölberg Grosses Gewächs 2016
The nose stops you in your tracks — sea breeze and musk intertwined in a way that feels genuinely distinctive, with white peach and mirabelle adding aromatic lift. On the palate, those stone fruit notes translate into something lush and generous, the texture polished and rounder than Gillot's 2017 Grosse Gewächse from the same site. Zesty lime cuts through mid-palate, keeping things vivid and refreshing. The finish is the highlight: long, saline, and mouthwatering, with a pull of minerality that lingers well after the wine is gone.
