The 2021 Gunderloch Als Wär’s Ein Stück Von Mir Riesling is a distinctive dry Riesling from Germany’s Rheinhessen region, created by Johannes Hasselbach as a tribute to traditional family winemaking. Sourced from vineyards in Nackenheimer Rothenberg and Hipping, the wine is crafted with extended skin contact, wild fermentation and extended lees ageing, resulting in a more textural and layered expression of Riesling.
On the palate, vibrant flavours of green apple, ripe lemon and citrus are complemented by floral notes, subtle tropical hints and a pronounced stony minerality. The wine combines bright acidity with a gently textured mouthfeel, creating a dry, focused style that balances fruit intensity with impressive structure and length.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers who enjoy Riesling with added texture and strong terroir expression. Its combination of freshness, complexity and natural winemaking character makes it particularly appealing for adventurous white wine drinkers. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 5–8 years. Pairs beautifully with ceviche, fresh seafood, roast pork, sashimi and soft goat’s cheese.
