2020 Gunderloch Estate Riesling Dry

Gunderloch

Rheinhessen

▪ 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.


Viticulture

▪ At the start of the year rich rainfalls generated good
water reserves in the soil. Vegetation started mid may,
just a few days ahead of schedule.
▪ A mild spring turned into a warm and dry summer but
luckily without heat peaks. Isolated but rich rainfalls kept
the dry stress away.
▪ Picking began on the 3rd of September. The stable
weather system enabled a calm and precise harvest.
▪ The grapes tasted just a bit riper as in previous years.
The acidity is just a notch lower and the mouthfeel of the
wines is grippy and structured. The nose is crystal-clear
alluring and shows finesse and a noble understatement.
▪ Out of our three top vineyard sites Nierstein Hipping,
Nierstein Pettenthal and Nackenheim Rothenberg.
▪ Red slate soil from Permian times (290 mil. years old).
