RothenbergRieslingGrandCru2022

<p>The Rothenberg Riesling Großes Gewächs 2022 from Kühling-Gillot is one of the remarkable Rieslings from the renowned Rheinhessen wine region and highlights the exceptional quality of the Roter Hang near Nierstein. The Rothenberg vineyard is known for its distinctive red clay slate soil, known as “Rotliegendes,” which imparts a distinctive minerality to the wines. The 2022 vintage is an intense, brilliant yellow with golden reflections. A complex range of aromas unfolds on the nose: Initially, notes of ripe peach and apricot emerge, accompanied by citrus fruits such as lime and tangerine. In the background, subtle hints of herbs and a salty minerality typical of the Rothenberg develop.</p><p>On the palate, the wine displays an excellent balance between fruit, acidity, and minerality. The acidity is precise and refreshing, yet perfectly integrated, giving the wine an impressive elegance. The fruit aromas are vibrant and harmonize perfectly with the pronounced minerality of the red slate. The finish is long and intense, with the minerality resurfacing and shaping the flavor until the very end.</p>
