Kühling-Gillot Riesling Niersteiner Pettenthal Grosses Gewächs 2018

Tightly-knit and pure, with the Pettenthal site stamping its character clearly, a stony, almost saline minerality runs beneath concentrated stone fruit and citrus pith. What's striking here is the weightlessness: the fruit is dense but never heavy, carried by focused acidity that keeps everything lifted and precise. The finish is extraordinarily long, fading slowly and cleanly. A distinguished GG that should reward patience; best from 2024 through 2035+.
