Gunderloch Description

A site made famous by many winemakers in the region, the Niersteiner Pettenthal is a finer soil than Rothenberg, more pebbly with broken rocks and less geological compression. The wines from here tend to be more tensile, more filigreed, lighter on their feet, yet resolutely firm and lasting as well. It’s a GREAT combination! The nose of the 2021 is tight and clean, intriguing for its intense coconut scent this year along with savory and exotic aromas like licorice and black olive paste.... The mouthfeel is tart, energetic, and exciting, propelling a cascade of juicy citrus fruits over the tongue in the finale. That quality keeps the wine---which possesses ample material in dense and deep layers---from ever becoming ponderous. It is, in short, a great Pettenthal, destined for long life and profound food pairings.

Wine Advocate: 94 Points

The 2021 Pettenthal Riesling trocken GG offers a clear, deep yet bright and complex, very elegant and beautifully flinty bouquet of crushed or finely weathered stones, herbs (dried rosemary) and ripe mirabelles. Rich and dense on the palate, this is a powerful and firmly structured Riesling with crystalline acidity and uplifting salinity. The finish is still very young, which means tight and grippy, even slightly dryish, but this will all come together.

12.5% stated alcohol.
