2015 Gunderloch Niersteiner Pettenthal Riesling Grosses Gewachs

On the GG level, the Pettenthal proved to be far more complete and complex than its ortswein sibling, with a richer fruitier aromatics, and a suavy suave silken robe for its quietly powerful expansive sense of minerality. Whereas I prefer the Nackenheimer ortswein to the Niersteiner, I prefer the Pettenthal to the Rothenberg in GG. (go for the Nackenheimer villages and the Pettenthal GG is what i’m trying to say….)
