Riesling Spätlese Pettenthal 2025 500ml

Wine description for Riesling Spätlese Pettenthal 2025 500ml by Barnert & Drewitz

Colour & appearance

Lemon yellow, slightly hazy.

Nose

Crystal clear and precise: apple, sugar-coated lemon, passion fruit, sweet pineapple and honeydew melon. An inviting, charming opening.

Palate

Sweet, juicy fruit and fresh acidity in perfect balance. A refreshing sweet wine with finesse and playfulness.

Finish

Vibrant and precise, with lingering fruit and a saline aftertaste reminiscent of wet slate.

Terroir & origin

The grapes come from the Roter Hang in Nierstein, one of Germany’s most celebrated Riesling vineyard sites. Barnert & Drewitz, the geologist-sommelier duo from the Hessische Bergstraße, select parcels here that display the same mineral precision that characterises their own steep slopes between Bensheim and the Odenwald.

Grape variety & vinification

Riesling with 10% clean botrytis, spontaneously fermented, minimally sulphured and unfiltered – just as Eric Barnert and Götz Drewitz practise in their vaulted cellar at Schloss Schönberg.

Food recommendations

Ideal with spicy Asian dishes, pungent blue cheese or fruity desserts.

Special features

Limited to 139 bottles in half-litre format. The label was designed by the artist Petra Ruhnau – a collector’s item that reflects the union of craft and art for which Barnert & Drewitz stand.
