The 2024 Riesling Niersteiner Pettenthal Grosses Gewächs blends flintiness and crushed tansy on the nose, setting the tone for this stony, savory wonder. A textural element unites citrus zest and saltiness. It shines, making the mouth water as it sinks deeper into the red sandstone that seems to hold the flavor and salt of centuries. Meanwhile the surface remains calm and collected. The 2024 is a stupendous expression that holds its cards close to its chest, simply because they are a handful of aces.

This giant of finesse and focus is like an ocean breeze on a hot day that liXs and delights you. Hyperelegant
and hyperfiligreed, with a wealth of stone fruit and wild herb details, this is a masterpiece of
finesse. Enormously long, wet-stone finish that defies easy descripYon. The interplay of sea salt and
yellow peach flavors is spectacular.
