2021 Pettenthal Riesling Grosses Gewächs, Gunderloch, Rheinhessen

2021 Pettenthal Riesling Grosses Gewächs, Gunderloch, Rheinhessen

At 6.5 hectares, this is Gunderloch's largest site and is probably its most prestigious. The gravelly red slate and cooler site provides a delicate finesse and lively acidity. Steely in its approach with jasmine and white grapefruit pithiness. This is a classy wine.

Tasting notes

Very expressive nose of passion fruit, wet stones, smoke and wild herbs. Concentrated, juicy and racy, with impressive drive and focus. The citrus, wild herb and berry aromas cascade over the palate at the long, very clean finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap
