Suckling over Pettenthal Riesling Grand Cru 2023
The complex flint and smoke expression of this wine is off the scale. And you can say the same about the balance of stony vibrancy and restrained richness on the extremely concentrated palate. The Amalfi lemon intensity and filigree at the finish are also off the scale. So refreshing you feel like you've been thrown into a mountain pool fed by glaciers.

Pettenthal Riesling Grand Cru 2023

The Pettenthal Riesling Großes Gewächs 2023 from Kühling-Gillot presents itself as an impressive wine full of finesse and depth. The nose unfolds vibrant aromas of ripe citrus, peach, and tropical fruits, paired with floral elegance and a subtle herbal spice. On the palate, the wine displays a powerful structure, characterized by lively, precise acidity and a striking minerality derived from the red slate soils of the site. The salty minerality permeates the entire tasting experience, providing tension and complexity. The long finish is accompanied by intense fruitiness and subtle spice, lending the wine additional depth and elegance. This Riesling has enormous aging potential, but is also exceptionally expressive and balanced in its youth.
