Pettenthal Riesling GG QW Rheinhessen 1.5L

Pettenthal is the vineyard that made Nierstein on the Roter Hang (Red Slope) world-famous. This Riesling from the Kühling-Gillot house bears the abbreviation GG, a dry VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS® from one of the top addresses in Rheinhessen. The 1.5-liter magnum bottle makes it a wine for the large table.

The Roter Hang owes its name to the reddish slate and sandstone in the subsoil. The vines stand on steep terrain, which gives the wine its salty, stony character. The Kühling-Gillot winery is considered a pioneer for Rieslings from this vineyard, and the wines carry the organic label.

In the glass, light yellow with bright reflections. On the nose, citrus fruits, peach, and apricot, plus floral and herbal notes. On the palate, dry, with precise acidity that holds the fruit and mineral structure together. The texture is powerful yet fine, and the finish is long.

Recommendation: Fried zander, sweetbreads, or a mature mountain cheese. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C and decant it briefly if the bottle has just been opened.

The Winery

Weingut Kühling-Gillot

VDP Member Estate

The winery of Carolin and Oliver Battenfeld is located on the Rhine terrace. The special thing about Kühling-Gillot is the biodynamics that have been practiced since 2005. For Carolin and Oliver Battenfeld, the brown hare embodies the symbol of fertility and joie de vivre.

In recent years, the winery has developed into one of the absolute top estates in Germany. The slate subsoil of the famous Roter Hang around Nierstein and Nackenheim creates wines that, with their mixture of fine fruit and vibrant minerality, represent something like the ideal type of a great dry wine.
