The 2022 Gunderloch Nackenheimer Rothenberg Riesling Spätlese is a beautifully balanced Riesling from the renowned Rothenberg vineyard in Germany's Rheinhessen region. Produced from fruit grown on the steep red slate slopes of the Roter Hang, it offers lifted aromas of ripe peach, apricot, citrus and white flowers, alongside subtle mineral notes.
On the palate, gentle sweetness is balanced by vibrant acidity, creating a wine that is both expressive and refreshing. Flavours of stone fruit, mandarin and lemon zest are layered over a fine mineral backbone, leading to a long, harmonious finish with excellent freshness.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for those who enjoy the balance of ripe fruit and bright acidity that great German Spätlese Riesling delivers. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy or cellar over the next 10–15 years as additional complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with spicy Asian dishes, roast pork, seafood, soft cheeses and fruit-based desserts.
