Gunderloch – Rothenberg Riesling Spätlese – 2017

100% Riesling

The Rothenberg Vineyard encompasses around 20 hectares directly on the Rhine River on the north end of the “Roter Hang” between Nackenheim and Nierstein. Around 5 hectares of this comprise the heart of the Rothenberg. The vineyard has a slope of 30 to 80% and is comprised of 290-million-year-old red shale plates. Family Hasselbach of the Gunderloch Estate own around 4.5 hectares of this prime vineyard made up predominantly of very steep parcels. The Nackenheimer Rothenberg is without question our most prominent vineyard mountain. It yields wines of striking mineral character paired with a broad spectrum of expressive spice and fruit aromas.

Silky in texture, with a little bit of crunchiness, this is well-balanced and vibrant overall, exhibiting passion fruit, vanilla, verbena and mineral aromas and flavors, which unfold in waves over the delicate structure. Fine length. Wine Spectator – 93
