Pettenthal, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2024

Pettenthal comes with a crumblier mineral structure, as we move back to the slate vineyards, presenting deep lemon, apples and lots of wispy mineral salts and white pepper. Super smart and composed – the 2024 has great acidity and verticality. A superbly transparent GG. Typically, Pettenthal is the more sober and sophisticated sibling of the enthusiastic, gregarious Hipping. The main difference is that in Pettenthal the iron rich slate tends to be composed of larger plates, which contributes to the wine’s signature sense of composure. At 73 degrees, Pettenthal is the steepest vineyard in the Rheinhessen. The Kühling-Gillot vines were planted in the 1970s.
