2019 Gunderloch Estate Riesling Dry

Riesling pure and focused, at its best! Typical fruity characteristics and long mineral finish of our
“Red Slate” vineyards. This “Estate Riesling” is the “liquid business card” of our
winery. Out of our three top vineyard sites Nierstein Hipping, Nierstein Pettenthal and Nackenheim Rothenberg. Red slate soil from Permian times (290 mil. years old).

Viticulture

Vegetation in 2019 started early but due to a very arid climate the vines developed stable but slowly. After an early flowering our thirsty vineyards received healthy amounts of rainfall in a mild climate with few heatpeaks. Harvest started in early September and remained mostly dry which allowed us to pick at a slow and precise rhythm. The wines of 2019 are on the lighter and vivid side but convince through a settled, deep but persistent taste.
