Picked late with 28 hectoliters per hectare and fermented in a 1,000-liter Fuder, the 2014 Nierstein Pettenthal Riesling trocken has a somewhat reductive and stony bouquet; it is very spicy and clearly characterized by the red slate soils. Silky textured and finesse-full on the palate, this medium-bodied and filigreed wine shows a lot of tropical fruit, power, finesse, freshness and piquancy. This is concentrated, well structured Riesling with great expression of the Pettenthal terroir. The finish reveals a lovely purity and salinity.
