The wine

Pettenthal Grosses Gewächs is Gunderloch's grand-cru dry Riesling, from one of the steepest red-slate parcels of the Roter Hang. Powerful and profound, it is built to age for decades.

Ripe peach, citrus, apricot, herb and a smoky, slaty minerality fill an intense nose. The palate is dry and concentrated yet racy, with stone fruit, mineral drive and an exceptionally long finish.

A wine for fine dining and the cellar. Serve well chilled.

The producer

Gunderloch is one of Germany's most celebrated estates, based in Nierstein on the famous Roter Hang, or red slope, above the Rhine in Rheinhessen. Family-run for generations, it is renowned above all for Riesling of great purity and power. Its wines rank among the country's finest.

The steep vineyards are set on distinctive red slate and sandstone soils that give the wines their smoky, mineral character. Farming is organic, and the great sites of Rothenberg and Pettenthal are among the region's most prized. Cool conditions preserve the wines' racy acidity.

The range spans everything from the fruity, off-dry Jean Baptiste Kabinett and Redstone to the powerful dry Grosses Gewächs and lusciously sweet Spätlese. Each is pure, mineral and expressive of its slope. Together they show Riesling in all its guises.

Gunderloch's wines combine intensity with elegance and a striking sense of place. They are age-worthy, food-friendly and consistently outstanding. A benchmark of German Riesling.
