The 2018 Rauenthal Nonnenberg Riesling is a pure and very fine dry Riesling from the phyllite slate soils of this 6.5-hectare cru. Crunchy slate and flinty notes intermixed with elegant and bright Riesling aromas lead to a lush and round, tight and structured, very elegant and full-bodied dry Riesling with fine tannins and lingering salinity. 12.2% alcohol. This is the most powerful of the three grands crus soon to be released. Bottled at the end of July and tasted in August 2019.
