The 2015 Gunderloch Nackenheimer Rothenberg Riesling Beerenauslese Half Bottle (375ml) is a rare and intensely concentrated dessert Riesling from the celebrated Rothenberg vineyard in Germany's Rheinhessen region. Crafted from individually selected, highly ripe berries grown on the steep red slate slopes of the Roter Hang, it reveals complex aromas of apricot, candied citrus, honey and orange blossom.
On the palate, it is rich and luscious, with layers of dried stone fruit, marmalade and honeyed citrus balanced by vibrant acidity. Despite its concentration, the wine remains precise and fresh, finishing long with remarkable purity and mineral detail.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a superb choice for collectors and lovers of Germany's great sweet wines. The half bottle format makes it ideal for special occasions or pairing with dessert. Enjoy now or cellar for decades as further complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with blue cheese, fruit tarts, crème brûlée, foie gras and rich pâtés.
