wine description
2020 PETTENTHAL Riesling GG
At about 170 meters, the Pettenthal is slightly higher than the Rothenberg, and the soil is therefore a tad barren, so that the vines have to root very deeply in the soft stone in order to get to food and minerals. The higher and steeper the tub, the more difficult the living conditions are for the vines. And that is the prerequisite for great wines.
Our parcel in Pettenthal is the steepest vineyard parcel in Rheinhessen with a slope of more than 70%. In addition, the ledge that runs through the entire Red Slope is most pronounced here on the surface. The humus layer is extremely thin and nutrients for the vine can only be found deep in the stony soil. Mechanical management is completely impossible. Here you can only work by hand.
