Kühling-Gillot
Pettenthal Großes Gewächs Riesling
Dynamite. Shimmering. Sappy and pure but cut like a diamond and so nimble. Shows its class.

Nov 5th, 2023Now fully assured that the first time I was wow'd by this wine wasn't a fluke. The Kuhling Gillot Pettenthal is some serious juice. An incredibly ripe yet intense nose of mineral, fruit and funk is then contrasted by a bonedry and textural performance on the palate. Don't even get me started on the length of the finish.

Jun 22nd, 2015Nose : pretty white flowers on open.
Palate: elegantly mineral. Prettily tart.
Lets see where this goes.
Day 2. Nose has hints of being mesmerizing. White flowers. Lemon flowers. Really pretty. A subtle intensity. Hints of Tahitian vanilla. Very fine. Integrated mineral dust. Such fine minerals.
Palate is lagging the nose. Elegantly mineral. A hard to describe sense of integration. Elegant “sweet” fruit. Perfect toned down stone fruits.
Don’t drink this until 2026 at the earliest. Likely 2028. It could be brilliant but it’s just not expressing itself now. The balance and the studios is there though.
