Riesling from Rheinhessen, Germany
DB8154-16
Riesling from Rheinhessen, Germany
90g/l RS, 9g acid, 7% alc. There was botrytis in this vintage, but at Gunderloch it was the dry, clean kind that winemakers love. Tasted upon release, it showed extremely pale and pretty with great juiciness and lift--atypical for a Rhine Auslese. Sweet lemon tea notes play around the edges. A wine...

Gunderloch – Riesling Spätlese Nackenheimer Rothenberg
Riesling from Rheinhessen, Germany
DB8153-17
Riesling from Rheinhessen, Germany
Powerful and lavish Spatlese, completely swet and sensuously textured--YET somehow balanced on a dime with a finish that floats. How do they do that?!?! Deep yellow fruis are accented by potpourri, honey and river rocks. These wines have a tremendous history of development with age.
