The Character

Tasting Notes "...opens with the friendly, very delicate and elegant, floral/slatey bouquet you may expect from a Riesling from vineyards on reddish clayish slate soils from the Rotliegend era. Round and very elegant on the palate, this is a medium-bodied, well-structured and vital dry Riesling from top sites such as Hipping and Pettenthal. The wine pairs salt with grip and ripe fruit and develops a very good finish. More charming than the corresponding Nackenheimer (which comes entirely from the Rothenberg in fact) at this stage."

The Story

100% Pettenthal fruit vinified in 100% old oak barrels on full lees with a nice, long maceration. Pettenthal has softer soils than Rothenberg, less compressed and smaller, broken rocks in the topsoil. It traditionally makes a lighter, more filigreed wine.

About Gunderloch

Producer Story

Gunderloch is a thriving estate of approximately twenty-five hectares of vines in some of the top vineyards of the "Roter Hang" ("red slope") area in the Rheinhessen appellation. In Nackenheim they own the dominant portion of the grand cru Rothenberg (sixty-five percent of the estate’s holdings) which is planted completely to Riesling. Their GG from here is the flagship of the estate; their noble sweets from the site are legendary. The other part of their production comes from five kilometers down the road in Nierstein, where they work steep parcels of vineyards whose names resound to the ears of German wine lovers: Niersteiner Pettenthal and Niersteiner Hipping, which both provide GG wines for them.
