Kühling-Gillot Riesling Niersteiner Pettenthal Grosses Gewächs 2017

WineSaint

Tightly wound and austere, this Pettenthal GG opens with bitter lemon pith, wet slate, and a saline mineral edge. Beneath the compressed structure lies striking intensity — chalky, grippy acidity that cuts clean and refuses to give ground. It's a wine that's not yet speaking fully, and patience is the price of admission. Give it five to eight years to loosen up and reveal what the vineyard is truly saying.
