2019 Rothenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs, Gunderloch, Rheinhessen

2019 Rothenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs, Gunderloch, Rheinhessen

On the nose notes of iron oxide and wet stones, as well as grapefruit and wild flowers. The palate is so structured and intense, pointing at a remarkable aging potential, and there is such vibrant acidity. The finish is mineral and restrained at this point, but it goes on for an age, gathering complexity. This is an astonishing dry white from Johannes Hasselbach.

2022 Nierstein Riesling Dry, Gunderloch, Rheinhessen Dry | White | Still | 12.5%

Johannes has been running the family estate for 10 years, which has grown from 8 to 30 hectares and converted to organic viticulture since his arrival. Nierstein fruit comes from young vines from the famous and highly regarded Pettenthal vineyard that overlooks the Rhine river. The 2022 vintage is a warm vintage and the profile is more juicy and hints of exotic fruits combined with blossom and herbal notes as well as refreshing acidity and fruit purity.

Ready: 2023 - 2037
2021 Rothenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs, Gunderloch, Rheinhessen Dry | White | Still | 12.5%

At 5.5 hectares, the site retains the warmth and the orange and fleshy peach aroma is a nod to this heat retaining site. The wine has a breadth and a concentration, yet there is a herbal note as well as a saltiness and energy that is characteristic of the vintage.

Ready: 2023 - 2040
2021 Pettenthal Riesling Grosses Gewächs, Gunderloch, Rheinhessen Dry | White | Still | 13%

At 6.5 hectares, this is Gunderloch's largest site and is probably its most prestigious. The gravelly red slate and cooler site provides a delicate finesse and lively acidity. Steely in its approach with jasmine and white grapefruit pithiness. This is a classy wine.

Ready: 2023 - 2040
