Gunderloch - Pettenthal GG 2023 Riesling 750ml

"Beyond the southern end of the Rothenberg Vineyard is the well-known Pettenthal grand cru site. The soil of this famous vineyard is also comprised of red shale, but here it's slightly more weathered. The extremely friable, in certain parcels even sandy, texture yields wines of lighter structure with vibrant elegance. Despite the vineyard’s proximity to the Rothenberg, the two resulting wines differ greatly. The wines of the Pettenthal are distinguished by exotic fruit aromas from the moment of their youth and retain their refreshing character for many years. The steepest parcels of Gunderloch's estate are located in this vineyard." -Cellarhand (Importer)

"Intensely flinty with stacks of wild herb aromas, this is a powerful dry riesling that is very straight on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Very focused with a compact, stony core, this has excellent concentration and precision in the long, driving finish. From organically grown grapes with FairChoice certification. Drink or hold. 96 points." -Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com (July 2024)
