The wine

Rothenberg Spätlese is Gunderloch's lusciously sweet Riesling from a great red-slate parcel of the Roter Hang. Low in alcohol and vividly fresh, it balances sweetness with racy acidity.

Apricot, peach, honey, citrus and a smoky minerality fill an intense nose. The palate is sweet yet weightless, with ripe stone fruit, bright acidity and a very long, mineral finish.

Glorious with fruit desserts, blue cheese or on its own. Serve well chilled.

The producer

Gunderloch

View all Gunderloch wines

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.
