2021 Nierstein Riesling Dry, Gunderloch, Rheinhessen
The Nierstein is a selection from young vines of the famed Pettenthal vineyard of Rheinhessen's Roter Hang– the red slate slopes that overlook the river Rhine. 2021 was a spectacular year for Riesling across Europe and this is a fabulous representation of the vintage. Tasting it blind, you’d be forgiven for placing it as a Grosses Gewächs, or Grand Cru: smoky, textured and with wonderful purity of fruit, it has a finish that lasts for minutes. Excellent value from one of Germany's most exciting winemakers, this is not to be missed.

What a beautiful white peach and wild flower nose! This is at once fragrant and elegant, with an impressive wild herb complexity. Wonderful wet stone minerality at the bone dry, but long and filigree finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap
