The 2021 Gunderloch Nackenheimer Rothenberg Riesling Auslese is a richly expressive Riesling from the historic Rothenberg vineyard in Germany's Rheinhessen region. Grown on the steep red slate slopes of the Roter Hang, it displays aromas of ripe apricot, peach, candied citrus and orange blossom, complemented by subtle mineral undertones.
On the palate, concentrated fruit flavours are balanced by lively acidity, creating a wine of remarkable freshness and precision. Notes of stone fruit, citrus marmalade and honeyed citrus unfold across the palate, leading to a long, vibrant finish with impressive depth and balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for those who appreciate the richness and longevity of German Auslese Riesling. Enjoy now for its generous fruit profile or cellar over the next 15–20 years as further complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with blue cheese, foie gras, spicy Asian cuisine, fruit-based desserts and rich pâtés.
