justerini & brooks tasting note

Cool and edgy initially, the palate shows a fine leesy element, taut citrus fruits, pressed flowers and a baseline of red spices and iron – the acidity is well covered by the fruits. Along with Hipping this is one of the key sites in the Roter Hang – the iron rich slate tending to be composed of larger plates, which contributes to the wine’s signature sense of composure.

critic reviews

96/100Stephan Reinhardt,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The golden-yellow colored 2022 Nierstein Pettenthal GG is very fine and pure on the nose that delivers elegant, perfectly ripe and concentrated fruit with spicy-mineral and iodine tones. Silky and very fine on the palate, this is a highly elegant and savory-finishing Riesling with discreet power, enormous length and a stunningly coolish, terroir-driven nature due to the east-facing slope with loam and the hedges that give shade from 4 p.m. onward. The finish is intense and mouthwatering and reveals gorgeous grip. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2023.

93-95/100Anne Krebiehl,Vinous

The 2022 Riesling Niersteiner Pettenthal Grosses Gewächs beguiles with a shy hint of orange blossom and wet stone. This is followed by yeasty reduction, intense creaminess and aromatic lemon. This parcel is underneath the forested crest of the hill, shading half of the vineyard in the afternoon. The lemony intensity, that mouth-watering juiciness, defines the concentrated mid-palate. Tingling white pepper blends in with white citrus pith to deliver textural interest. The 2022 has drive, energy and a lovely echo of lemon zestiness. The finish is super-clean, balancing ripe fruit with freshness. (Bone-dry)
