Picked late with 28 hectoliters per hectare and fermented in a 1,000-liter Fuder, the 2014 Nierstein Pettenthal Riesling trocken has a somewhat reductive and stony bouquet; it is very spicy and clearly characterized by the red slate soils. Silky textured and finesse-full on the palate, this medium-bodied and filigreed wine shows a lot of tropical fruit, power, finesse, freshness and piquancy. This is concentrated, well structured Riesling with great expression of the Pettenthal terroir. The finish reveals a lovely purity and salinity.

Pungent lemon and kumquat rinds penetrate the nose, behind which emerge site-typical black tea smokiness and dusty, stony notes. A buoyant and brightly citric palate delivers almost painful, cheek-tugging concentration of lemon and kumquat with their rinds, accompanied by pit-inflected white peach and underlain by crushed stone. Yet the sense of extract richness is almost creamy and custard-like. This finishes with striking clarity and penetration and citric, stony persistence--a relatively austere but impressive exemplar of its great site, and one that deserves a few years in bottle.
