The 2024 Gunderloch Roter Hang Riesling 1G is an elegant German white wine from Rheinhessen, produced by the historic family-owned Weingut Gunderloch. Crafted from Riesling, this wine reflects the celebrated Roter Hang's distinctive red slate soils and steep vineyards overlooking the Rhine River. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe white peach, yellow apple, fresh lime and lemon zest, complemented by delicate notes of citrus blossom, crushed stone and subtle herbal spice. The 1G classification identifies a wine from a recognised first-class vineyard site.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a precise, refined texture. Flavours of juicy peach, crisp apple, grapefruit and lemon peel unfold alongside hints of fresh herbs and stony minerality. Its expressive orchard-fruit character is balanced by refreshing citrus acidity, creating a harmonious dry Riesling with depth and elegance. The finish is long and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of citrus zest and delicate mineral notes.
