Weingut W.E. Frank - Riesling Pettenthal Grosse Lage 2018

The Wine Advocate: "The Niersteiner Riesling 2018 Pettenthal Grosse Lage offers a clear, deep and intense bouquet of ripe and concentrated fruits intermingled with flinty and even some iodine notes. On the palate, this is a dense, rich yet elegant, detailed and silky-textured, certainly full-bodied Pettenthal with intense and concentrated yet elegant fruit, great substance and crystalline, mineral acidity that holds everything in vibration. The 2018 is enormously rich and powerful yet comparatively moderate in alcohol. The finish still bears some future surprises. 3,419 bottles were filled in December 2019. 12.9% measured alcohol. Natural cork stopper."
