Kai Schätzel Riesling Niersteiner Pettenthal Kabinett 2018

Lime blossom, wet slate, and a faint thread of white peach on the nose, precise and inviting. On the palate, Pettenthal's stony mineral character anchors the wine while the sugar and acidity hold each other in tight, effortless balance. The finish is long, lucid, and driven by that signature red-soil grip. For a vintage that asked a lot of growers, this shows striking purity and composure. Drink now through 2030.
